This is just plain nutz. I love where we are in western New Jersey, but after 25 years in South Florida, this winter stuff is getting a little wearing. I hope the last of my wood stove wood supply I just stacked in the garage will last through the first day of spring! 5 cords gone!

What I'm more concerned about is any potential problem with snow load on my Rpod. I pushed off a considerable load (ice-snow) today cuz they are calling for another brutal blast of that white stuff tomorrow and Monday. I actually noticed a little flex as I was breaking up the rooftop glacier.

So, do you folks up north of the arctic circle like in Maine or Wisconsin have any problems with snow load? I guess I'll have to take a good look at all the caulk if this winter ever ends....

Thanks!

Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks!

Yes I have taken the snow of the pod twice this winter, so far.
