Ron, I was wondering about how it would handle snow. I talked to a friend in Homer who has one on his property, and he said he takes the cover off for winter. I think I need to do that, as mine is right up against the house and snow sliding off piles up next to the siding. Also, mine is just sandbagged as far as securing to the ground. I don't want the frame to spread and get damaged. I squared it up before putting the cover on, but I'm sure it has moved around a bit. I don't think ND gets as much snow accumulation as we do (it probably blows away

)
