No need to get snippy. I'm a local and spend a lot of time in the Albany area. The weather and ground conditions are factual, and I can provide you with public records of such if you like. Also a fact is that rigging companies typically don't work under adverse conditions if it can be helped. If you have anything more productive to add to the conversation other than being rude to someone making a simple statement on a forum for free and friendly conversation, then please, contribute...
