It may seem like a distant memory now, but this winter was a doozy record snowfall, blizzards, storms and icy conditions wracked the Northeast seemingly nonstop. This pattern of nearly constant snow and ice deterred many commuters from getting to work.
A severe winter has the potential to seriously threaten the livelihood of hourly workers and their families. Millions of hard working Americans engineers, construction workers, transportation professionals, maintenance and laborers (to name a few) are routinely unable to do their jobs because of weather conditions. Through no fault of their own, projects halt and paychecks stop.
