One thing has bothered me about this concept of using calendars--
really it's about "scheduling" delays. By the vary nature of
"scheduling", it's useful only when discussing future work. However,
I'd be hard pressed to schedule a rain delay on July 17 of next year!
Assuming one is tracking with sufficient detail, any delay due to
weather will show up as a gap when actual hours are recorded. If one
is not tracking at such a level, then they've effectively stated that
they are not interested is such details. Why is a weather delay any
different than capturing (or not) whether your roofer didn't work
because his truck broke down?
