As temperatures continue to drop with the an incoming winter storm, those who work outside are preparing to deal with extra cold conditions.
At Saint Bridget Cemetery in Manchester, Sam Morariu was engraving a headstone.
A tedious job -- it’s all about precision; but as temperatures drop, it gets tougher to be outside.
“Usually you’re out in the field pretty much so there’s no wind cover really. So if it hits hard, it goes right through you,” said Morariu, owner of Sam's Stone Carving.
He has to make sure he is layered up, especially his hands – so there’s no mistake as he’s engraving.
But his plans have changed with snowfall in the forecast.
“Yeah if it comes Monday, I’m going to wait until Tuesday to come back out probably,” said Morariu.

We found David Turell working at an outdoor garden center, Garden Sales. He said he and his coworkers will be hard at work, whether it snows or not.
“To keep warm here: keep moving, lots of layers. A Santa hat works considerably keeping the heat,” said Turell.
A fire is also key to keeping warm.
“We have a tendency to stand around the fire outside more and my father staying inside decorating around the pot belly wood stove,” said Turell.
Both Turell and Morariu said it's also important to takes breaks to warm up.
