One of the metal trusses came down on the corner of the cab on the crane truck and broke through the outer layer of fiberglass, took out 2 clearance lights but that was about it on the trucks, as far as the rest of the stuff we will simply have to wait until the snow is gone to remove the tarp and check out the damage as NOBODY is going in there now.

I tried to post some pics of my Friend / neighbors 50 x 100 canvas topped Quonset hut that caved in on top of all his equipment 2 days ago, we got the crane truck that he uses for setting the concrete form cages and his service truck out without any further damage but there is still a lot of stuff in there buried under the broken frame and canvas, it took my Cat, a Volvo excavator and a pulp loader to lift the frame enough to clear the trucks, the scary part was going inside to cut the canvas and rig the spreader bars. Nobody got physically hurt and Derek can now get back to work but Please let this be a lesson to us all, TODAY PLEASE look up at your roofline, if there is a lot of snow up there, GET IT OFF!

We have five hoop buildings on the farm, all run east to west and are out in the open, any wind pretty much keeps em scoured off. WE just put the fifth one up this fall/early winter, have the semi, a grain truck, three four wheel drive tractors and the seed tender parked in it. A guy in town put up the identical building after ours and it came down, but his is sheltered on three sides by tree lines, they also left all the snow on it from when we got the 16".

Well the shoreline of Ct is getting another 4-6 inches today.  Here we go again. Can't wait for the melt of spring to get here.

Project for this year is going to be finishing the roof on the wood shed.  I have had enough of digging through the snow to find my wood pile.

Glad it cooled back down a little, broke a sweat yesterday in the 42 degree weather.

Wont be long and the black flies will be out.

This morning in my area of NH I had -15.  I coulda swore I saw a mosquito wearing a fur coat.

Yesterday in Northern MN we had -26 in the morning and today it's almost 40..  I would imagine this will slowly make it your way soon..  It's going to be 50 next week and it's time to start getting seeds started for the garden!  Hopefully you guys out east get a slow gentle melt with all your snow!!

That's right Brad we will definitely need some rain or we are gonna have a shortage of moisture in the ground!

My dad and his uncle (both run/ran greenhouse businesses as I still do with my dad).  They used to call it "poor man's fertilizer".  Well, not sure how good it is, but we sure have enough of it here.  Saw a lot of melting over the past couple of days.  Cooling back down some today with another round of snow expected this weekend.  Heavy wet stuff this time.  Most of the storms last month were fluffy and easy to move.  Sadly I've lost my nice snow packed base in my driveway.  Plowing this weekend will be loads of fun.
