Brian Lear on WNYC and as the snow falls around here for the end of our show today

We turn to the cold snowy weather as a topic specifically working in it another winter storm bringing some snow to New York City

in the tri-state area for the most part of today, most of today, and while there

isn't expected to be a lot of accumulation, at least in the city,

the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for parts of New Jersey.

The temperature is really cold too, hovering around freezing as a peak all weekend. So ahead of this cold possibly

snowy weekend we are inviting listeners who work outside for long periods of time to have the floor for the end of the show today.

How do you stay safe and warm out there if you have to work outside in weather like this.

212 433 WNYC, 212 433 9692.

For the rest of us, it's so easy to take for granted those people who work outside

and have to work outside no matter the weather, right?

So you all have the floor right now.

212, 433, WNYC.

Anything you want to share about the hazards of your job,

whether it's the cold, or ice maybe the heat in the

summer is there anything your employer does to help you warm drinks gloves

space heaters time off past a certain extreme point of weather.

Maybe you're part of a union that has put best practices into place, what are those?

Or maybe you think your employer could be doing more.

Provide a warm break room, shorten your time outside,

if possible.

Maybe your employer is refusing to take your concern seriously.
