Winter Blunderland

It's been a snowy morning and it shows no sign of letting up.  One of the jarring things about an adult snow day in the produce business is the limited scope of the area affected, compared to the overall geographic locations of our customers.  We expect 16 inches of snow here which is causing road closures and authorities are advising limited use of vehicles.  Meanwhile, it is raining in NYC and people there expect their orders delivered on time and without excuses.  My mindset is that of a 10 year old.  Let's go and play in the snow.  The adult says no that is not what we do on a weekday, even if it is snowing.  So you sell and take orders and then the trucks cancel on account of road conditions.  In other words, it's time to go play in the snow.
