We didn't realize the PVC pipe would get so brittle... hahahahahahahaha live and learn! Yes we saw snow and ice in Montana but here the snow sticks and never leaves all winter as there is very little wind and no temp flucuations except downward. In Montana snow stayed a week or less and then turned to mud. I haven't seen this much snow accumulate and stay since I lived in Northern Michigan (40 years ago!). Cheers and bring out the hot cider!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Lucky you snow. My family and I are wishing for snow here in upstate New York. It's just raining here but temperatures are dropping. Farther up north they are getting a little snow..guess we should move..We are all looking forward to another ski and snowmobile season. Plans are underway to visit Alaska soon. My husband's college room-mate is now located in Anchorage and has a room waiting.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Pam, OMG!!! Hope you knew what snow was before you moved to Alaska. Gee, PVC pipes and a tarp wouldn't hold up to rain let alone snow here in Upstate NY. We built a cute little house with sturdy pressure treat lumber/shingles and it should last a few life times..But I can't begin to imagine using my hot tub in the snow and cold.You must have thicker blood then me. We pull the plug for winter... Enjoy, interesting to know how other parts of the country live. Dee _____ From: plsav42@...
