    Shoveling snow….whats that? Did you forget about the tractor with the 6 foot snowblower? That beast prevents all shoveling!

    Hey we may not have the opportunity to make videos like this for a while. That snow block making is a great Idea, could you send me the link on that on?

    Well I would clear the tarp off every few hours if the snow was heavy, but it should hold a good amount of snow. As for Ace’s commands yes they are German, very pour German I’m sure.

    Talk about making the best of your situation. There are about thirty new snow shelter making vids. Not recently, I saw were some guys made a form box out of wood, packed in the snow and then could fold down the sides producing uniform ice bricks. You could probably even make keystone shaped ones for an arched roof. Just a thought, I’m not going out there.

    OMG!! I knew you guys got some snow but i did not think it accumelated to that amount. WOW>….I would def say that the tarp shelter is your best option. Its the least amount of energy expended and if the foul weather persists you can easily shake your roof off. Good job Adam. I am happy to see you have success. BS/ and dont get burried by the snow.
