Simple winter hours
Dates and times.
Hi Alex — quick heads-up: starting Monday, November 2, my hours change to 8:30 to 4:00, Monday through Friday. Your regular Tuesday visit stays the same.
Winter hours / seasonal schedule change
Days get shorter and your schedule changes with them. A short winter hours text tells clients the new start and end times, the date it begins, and whether their regular slot moves. Send it a week or two ahead so nobody is surprised at the door. It’s different from a holiday closure, which is just a few days off.
Use your real dates and times. If a regular client’s slot has to move, text them separately instead of hoping they read the group note.
When to use this
- Daylight saving ends and you stop working after dark.
- Snow, ice, or cold means later starts or fewer days.
- Your seasonal business slows and you cut back days.
- Not for a few days off around a holiday — use Holiday / closed dates.
Your slot moves
Regular client.
Hi Alex — with the shorter days, I’m ending by 4 starting next month. Your usual 4:30 visit would need to move. Could 2:30 on Thursdays work instead?
Fewer days in winter
Cutting back.
Hi Jordan — from December through February I’m working Tuesday to Friday only. If you’d like to keep a Monday spot, let me know and I’ll find the closest day.
Weather can shift starts
Snow and ice.
Hi Alex — winter reminder: if the roads are icy, I may start an hour later for safety. I’ll text you that morning if your time changes.
Back to regular hours
When spring comes.
Hi Alex — good news, my regular hours are back starting March 9: 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. Want to move back to your old time?
How to send it
Copy one message, swap in the real name and details, and send from your own phone or email. Keep it to a few sentences. If they need a different topic, use a Related link below instead of mixing two subjects in one text.
