I miss snow😢 Here in N.C., as a child in the '60's and '70's, it snowed several times every winter. From 1971 to 1981 I never had to go to school on my birthday being in the beginning of the second week of January. One time in 1977, I went but we all were sent home before homeroom was over. The snow fell so fast it was a task to get us all home safely. We only get a "good" snow,(3" up to 12") about every 5 years. Hardly see a snow flake in the other years. Always enjoy my visit to the cabin. Thank you for sharing Martin and hope you and Vonnie have an awesomely blessed weekend.

Born in '71 and raised in the Charlotte area myself. Moved back here 4 years ago. Haven't seen snow since Jan '22 and that was just an inch. Was hoping we'd get one snowfall in the 3-6" range this year, but looks like another snowless winter. Still a slim chance we can get some as I remember when I was 10 we got 8 inches in late March that year.

Until then, I'll enjoy watching the other ones, even though I know what they are all about! Thanks again, many times over for the best (and purest) "Reality Show" out there, my Brother!

Attach a salt shaker on the long pole, then rotate it to release the salt for cleaning solar panels. U Know that table salt can melt ice and snow quit quickly and it does not hurt the panels.

It’s to bad your solar panels need to be so high up. I have 4 separate solar panel arrays in my back yard. They’re all on wheels so I move them around to capture morning and evening sun. I use a leaf blower to clear snow off sometimes. I have used warm water to get ice off. People say that’ll crack them but it hasn’t yet.
@TheNorthwoodsman16 ай бұрын
I used to pull them around in the yard and had to move them 400 yards north in the winter to an opening to get any sun. Now enough trees died that I was able to build the structure to get them up in the sun in winter.
