Heavy conditions - possible to say that way?
Hi,
Yesterday I took my finals in English. Of course there were some grammar tasks to complete. My question regards one collocation. Is it possible to say: 'heavy conditions'? There was a sentence about Native Americans who are valued because they can work in ___ conditions or sth like that. The correct answer turned out to be 'tough conditions'. But is 'heavy' improper?

heavy conditions would only really apply to bad weather, whereas tough conditions would cover all sorts of problems.
