Handling Snow Somewhat Easier

In preparation for the big snow storm yesterday, I covered parts of both decks with tarps. Several times during the all day snow, I cleared the snow off the tarps. This morning there was only about 2 inches covering the tarps so it only took about 10 minutes on each deck to remove that snow and pull off the tarps. And there they are beautiful safe and clean decks. The first picture is the back deck and the second is the pond deck. One little catch is the tarps are very slippery when they have snow on them so it was a little like ice skating. Today I spent a couple of hours clearing the snow off the solar panels so we could at least make a small amount of electricity.
