Happy Monday Professionals!!! Severe weather can put a damper on vacation plans and likewise at work. Now in regards to the latter, how much of your work revolves around the weather at other locations? For me, FedEx Memphis was hit hard with severe winter weather so this has put a delay on a majority of our shipments.

I am in the Northeast, and we definitely get impacted by storms. We have numerous delays that we have to deal with after getting hit with flooding or snow. Somehow, we rally and are able to get it done but it's not easy.

It really isn’t easy. I never knew how much these storms impacted supply chain nationwide!

Midwest here, and weather is a huge factor. Especially these days. It's been in the negative temperatures for a few days now.

Yes, it could really put a damper on your supply chain for sure.

First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
