Spent well over an hour clearing snow & ice from my son's trampoline in the back yard. With all the snow we've had, including a 12" accumulation 2 weeks ago that hasn't gone completely away, it was sagging mighty low in the middle. I was afraid the canvas would rip, or the springs would break. We did have a 50+ day last week, and the day after was 40+, so a lot of snow at the edges of things did melt. But with the reent drop, it all refroze. There was an inverted cone of solid ice 6" thick in places, covered with pellet-y snow to almost a foot deep. Had to really hack at it with the snow shovel to break it into manageable chunks, but I finally got it cleared. Although I may have seriously cracked the shovel.
And now, we're not gonna get half the snow they thought we were. It dusted for about 1/2 hr earlier, but as of 11:30, it ain't doing a goddam thing outside. Ah, well. At least the trampoline snapped back into place.
