Envy you guys...

I wish I could work on my boat to get ready for spring, but here she is just sleeping away waiting patiently. 16 foot SS I picked up last summer.

Having a heated garage is great if you can wriggle into it, it seems that most admirals will stake claim to most of the berth :lol:

I've got my SS stored inside, a Buick and my new to me 115 Merc on a stand that I have ready to mount up on the SS. No room for my little Seafarer that needs some love.

When I built my garage, that was the plan, but now the back half is a machine and gun shop and the front half is a wood shop, I don't even have room for a bike in my shelter.

I will have to build another one if I want to keep anything out of the weather!

No worries, my Holiday is sitting on the back lawn with a sheet of ice on er waiting for paint.... I'm very tempted to bring it into work for the paint. I have a heated shop there, and could probably pull it off. I might just do that with the current weather forecast

Mine looks just like yours. 27" of snow so far. I've cleared off the cover three times now. Another 4 - 6" coming soon.

I've got the 2 SC's in "tents" that are on the verge of semi collapse due to the snow, and not able to get to them to remove the snow. And another project just laying in the yard (bought for the motor but who knows). Spring is still a couple months off.

Yea I'm with you, here's a pic of my boat covered in snow. Soon after this picture we got a bunch of rain and my pvc support frame collapsed. I wish I had room for it in the garage. Is it spring yet?

 

[Watermann]

Collapsing snow tents sounds bad, lots of damage can be done to the boat when that happens. My Chief tent got mauled by the non-stop howling winds then came the snow but I managed to get the roof back on before the snow. I do have the cover on the boat too inside the tent.

I lost a fiberglass classic a few years ago because of snow and a tent garage, the tent got overwhelmed with snow and wind blew it down, the metal tube rafters came down on the gunnels and fractured them.

 

[DLNorth]

Yup, tent garages are a gamble, I've had one up for 6-8 years but didn't have a lot of snow those years.
This year we just broke a record for the snowiest Feb ever in MPLS and the 6-7th snowiest month ever.
Way more then those tents can hold. I need to figure out a way to get to them and remove snow.

 

[astor]

I go out of town for a few weeks and the snow mostly melted.
I'm starting the countdown for May 1st, when I can uncover and get them ready for the water.

What is that invasive white stuff all over your boat and yard? Some kind of nuclear fallout?
