Here in the PNW if you don't work in the rain then you don't work.
Just make a temporary canopy over the outdoor equipment. The phone
company guys do it all the time.

The guys that I admire are the roofers. They don't stop in any
weather. I see them prancing around in the rain on 45 degree 3 story
roofs like it's no big deal. They often don't even have safety
harnesses. Nothing seems to stop these guys.

Are you aware that you're NOT supposed to lay shingles in the rain?????????

The underlayment is SUPPOSED to be dry!!!!!!!!

Uh.... A couple of major differences:

In the case of the electronic equipment in the environmental enclosures, the
airflow is minimal, and changing or killing the airflow to prevent blowing
away the canopy while the enclosure is open doesn't prevent the completion
of the work.

Generally, the really hot shit - 120-240 volts - is pretty well out of reach
of groping wet hands. There are points that you can touch in either the
environmental enclosures, or the more common cross-connect cases that have
voltages in the range of 48 to 190 volts DC, and also 90 volts AC at 20 hz,
but the higher voltages are at really low current - span power (the 190 volt
DC variety) will knock you on your ass, but it's limited to somewhere around
30 ma, so while it has the potential to stop your heart if you hold on to it
long enough, there's not enough current available to lock your muscles. You
WILL move if you touch it.

In NC you have to say it like this:

Hey, está lloviendo y hay relámpago. Es usted enterado que le no suponen
poner ripias en el?????? de la lluvia El underlayment SE SUPONE para ser
seco!!!!!!!!

Otherwise you just get a blank stare. The "word" INS seems to be understood
pretty well without translation, though.

Aww...tar paper will dry out sooner nough--bigges issue is you want for the
tabs to warm up good and seal down before any windstorms happen to come
up....otherwise, the exposed portions will break off and fly away....
