That Surprising Snow
The snowfall we had here the 1st full day of Spring was surprisingly fluffy and sticky. In fact it never occurred to me that snow wouldn't just fall right down through 1" chicken wire. But it did.

Yes, it is PVC tubing...
But I set metal electrical conduit pipe inside them for strength!
And they bent anyway! Some
people told me I was over-building again, using the metal pipe inside
the PVC. Maybe I should just leave it like that as an "object lesson".
I tried to straighten one today and the PVC broke out of the attachment.
I'm going to have to think about what to to to fix it. I really can't just leave it like that. It looks like a built it shoddily...

Snow is a PITA. I wasn't sorry to leave it behind when I came home to Florida.
We ended up with an inch on Friday, but it melted fast.
