That year I was competing with another supplier for the same customer. It had been snowing heavily for days. The customer’s printhead broke and they needed a replacement urgently. My competitor was a few hundred CNY cheaper than me, about USD 60 less. My price was higher, but I told the customer, I can deliver it to you tonight. They were really happy and said, If you can get it here tonight, all my orders for the next year are yours. So a colleague and I drove through the snow all night . It was only about 140 km, but the snow was so bad that the drive took the entire night

Back then I was really broke, so I had to fight for every single order. I’m still working with that customer today. Every time we have a few drinks together, he brings it up and says, Man, that snowstorm that year… I honestly never thought you d actually make it.

Do y'all just not install for a small seasonal window?
Yep, little to no outside installs during the winter - with a couple of exceptions.

Edit to add... winters are getting warmer and warmer, so that window is getting smaller. If it's 40 or above we can do outdoor installations. It's 40 here right now. It did snow a bit this morning, but it was a dusting, and it's all gone now. We just try not to schedule them when it's likely to be too cold.

Good job blindsign man, you used the last functioning 1% left of your brain to realize it's not 85 and sunny in Dallas. If you use 2%, you could come to the conclusion that was I wasn't in Dallas.. but that's asking too much. Go lie down and get some rest, today was hard.
