I don't, but when I had new roof shingles installed a few years ago the crew did it when it was 10 deg outside.

advice on what?

I am trying to setup a trip to meet up with some coworkers from when I worked in Philly to do some skiing , have some dinner and beers then head back home . They are an hour or so south of Philly airport and I live near Utica NY. They are transplants and have not skied in 15 or twenty years and last season was my first season in 25 years so nothing special as far as terrain , just good rental equipment incase they want to try some parabolics , good food and spirits onsite (a bar) easily accessable to NE extension . I know there are several around the Hickory run exit of 476 . Also I worked in Emmaus for a year in 1996 and stayed in foglesville , is the Sunset Grill still there..? any advice will be awsome , thanks....Oh and it will be on a monday

LMFAO..parabolics..the Sunset grill is still there. Jack Frost/Big Boulder is an idea since it's near 476 and there's night skiing at Big Boulder. Sno Mountain in Scranton is an idea as well...Blue mountain as well although it's not as close to 476. Every ski area will have parabolics for rent..and Mondays are the quietest day of the week..anyway feel free to PM me with any additional questions..

Now I just play outside, but on my way back from Loon today I drove past workers putting together the base for the new South Peak entrance sign. Setting rebar just doesn't sound like fun today!

by parabolic do you mean rockered/reverse camber. well they are not really ment for groomers. you have some that have rocker in the tip and tail but the makes your effective edge that much smaller. around here a long effective edge is where its at.
