Seems to me C6Bill you gotta build a roof over that bad boy or continue to come to it's rescue. I believe our luck has run out, the last few years have been easy for snow and the near future isn't looking bright. Here's a pic of mine, high and dry under the upper deck, right near the laundry room door and a quick step to reach. You know I reached out to friend down in Georgia and expressed the same sentiment, I told him I use to like snow, not anymore. He responds back, Oh come on, build a snow fort. pelt the little neighborhood kids with snowballs. Have a little fun. I wrote back, and told him....you live in Georgia, every Yankee here knows you can't make snowballs with light powder snow. See what happens when you move to warmer climate, your mind turns to mush.
