Since it is an infrequent occurrence, I would service equipment,
Take care of repairs that need to be made, and train and update
employees.

Why not just keep washing rain, snow whatever as long as it is above 25 F? We are based out of Cleveland, and so far this winter we have only missed 1 week so far (knock on wood). The weekend it started to get cold we jammed most of our weekend work in on that Thursday and Friday night, so we didn't miss out on it and then the weekday work we missed we made it up on the following weekend and week. Also look for inside work, we have a cable company that we wash their trucks so the week it was too cold to work we were picking up their trucks and detailing them in out shop.

Sometimes I go two or three weeks without washing in the winter months b/c its either rainning,snowing or freezen,I've missed alot of days this winter.

I either go fishing or hunting or just goof off,got to wash two hours last weekend and still had ice hanging off the trucks when done.

I don't book any jobs between Thanksgiving and Easter. Its the unfortunate reality of doing residential work in the northeast.
