Snow.
Wet heavy snow will certainly hamper the installation of water mains. Here in the far upper midwest, generally our construction season runs from mid-April until late November. Not this year! Due to a minor federally funded train running down the middle of College Way, we get to inspect in mid-Feburary the installation of water main. The most interesting part is the heated temporary water main that runs on the sidewalk. Usually our water main in 8 feet deep to prevent the water from freezing, instead in is now running on the sidewalk. Insane.
I'll post some pics once I take some.

Interesting. How do they do a temporary heated water line? How is it heated? Pics would be good as well.
