With the crusty deep snow I had to shovel out the layout!
I'm hoping this will promote melting.
Here are a couple pics!

Hi    Nice to see the crisp snow but I know how hard it is to clear it back breaking work even with a long handeled shovel.   Enjoy running the trainsCool

I do not know how some people are so lucky.

When I have to use the shovel to clear the snow. It fills in immediately. When I use the snow blower.  It waits until I go inside and change to Fill back in.

When I just say to H--l wit it. The sun comes out and wind dies down. That is until I pull the boots back on and open the door.

It looks like you have a great layout out there.

Ever thing of getting a Rotary plow?

I seen a few that worked great.
