Socked in a bit because of an unexpected winter storm and heavy snow. It made me wonder. Are you more likely to venture out and see a provider or less likely?  

 
Slower time for providers or is there an uptick in business since guys have an excuse to be out and about?

Why do you say that bad weather gives guys an excuse to be out and about? I'd be expected to be shovelling snow not driving to unspecified locations, especially when everything is closed.  

I would expect that ladies get a lot of cancellations if a snow storm hits.

If I have a session booked, I honor it if humanly possible (assuming the provider can still make it).  If I don’t have anything already scheduled, I don’t schedule something just because the weather is terrible.

has kept me from my appointed rounds to my regular ladies.  However, if it's a bad storm, I may refrain from booking a new girl I haven't seen before.  Heavy storms have slowed business for the ladies that I know.  It's never a tough call to decide when it's raining if I want to go out and get my dick wet.

I’m mentally “there” when it’s a being sunny day. Rain or snow is too depressing, like living in Seattle.

Even better for guys with SO. Need salt for sidewalk, Shovel broke, etc. Good explanation for being out for a long time, madhouse at the hardware store.

 
For those of us w/o a significant other then canceled appointments or married guys not wanting to go out so then an opportunity to see a hard to get to provider.  

 
Just thinking

I usually try to take and advantage of that by trying to book someons who is usually pre-booked (agency point of view here)  

 
Bad weather, public/common holidays, and recently pandemic shelter-in-place orders slow down business immensely so it is much easier to book. But you'll also stand out more and probably will have to lie a lot more to your SO if you have one. And harder justification for going out.

 
Then again, in my part of the world that is Cali, bad weather doesn't last too long and snow is in the mountains only.

No way I could blame what would amount to about a three hour absence on getting a shovel - I have three of them. And I have a hardware store, a Home Depot, and a Lowes all within a mile of me.  

With my life I'd be better off laying low at home. Talking about snow. Rain? I couldn't care less about it.

Generally try to avoid any travel on severe snow days.  
.
It hasn't happened but I imagine if I made a far out date for a touring provider and then a snow storm came along, I'd try to fulfill the appointment.  But for near term dates, I'd always check the forecast.  
.
I work on the otherside of town from where I live.  If ever a storm dumbs so much snow that travel home from work becomes a several hour trek, I might try calling a provider I know who is close to where I work and see if she'd be up for a visit.  Hasn't happened yet.

Traffic in Northern Virginia and the DMV sucks. People stuck on I95 (40 miles) for more than 24 hours on the road not moving at all, these past few days is a good example. I can leave on time for an appointment, 15 miles away, and be 30 minutes late or just jammed up for an hour. Or be there half an hour early - this place sucks for traffic.

 
Basically, in this area, a person can be out for hours and just say, "Traffic sucked" and NOBODY will question you.

 
Anecdotal evidence says providers are pretty open during bad weather. Had a few openings yesterday and set up with the provider with basically no notice, "Let me know when you can come in". Had an appointment immediately.  Good stuff.

Really,  so when you say "honey - I am going to get a new shovel and some salt and on the way back I will visit my ATF for an hour" you SO doesn't respond "have a great time"

Good subject today for us up here in the Northeast Kingdom
Travel this morning was treacherous. Interstate 93 was closed due to spin outs.
My driveway was all black ice.
I would not book an appt. if the weather meant unsafe travel conditions (this morning).  
or if it could seriously impede on-time arrival.
If the appt. were booked in advance but weather became unsafe, I would start a dialogue with the provider.  
Maybe she is as unwilling to travel as I am, if she has not arrived at her location yet.
If she has, the dialogue allows us to share our expectations of the impact of the unsafe conditions on the appt.

I attached a link to a very short video of the conditions.  Hope you can view it, first time adding a link to a post.
Frankly, first time posting in a very long time.

My ex would give me a fucking laundry list of shit to do, "While you're out get eggs, and stop by and get the prescriptions - and if you can get me some beef jerky while you're out and a pop would be great".
