Oh the fun. Here is a shot of me at work:

We deice with all engines running as well. 3 minutes for both types of deicing fluid.

Cool pic Allan. So just how cold is it standing up in one of those booms

Nice mate
Always wonder what it was - never cold enough down under

Its pretty cold, -5°C or less at times, and very windy. Newer deicing trucks have enclosed, heated buckets, so its not as harsh.

I believe it, as that looks really damn cold outside, hehe. I take it you work for FedEx? Obviously not at KMEM though....well, I guess maybe, since the south got that cold snap recently.
