f**%ing snow

[lewi]

took the chance yesterday to head up to sunny Argyle to
check up on the boat, now knowing there has been a
lot of snow and some real low temps, i expected a
bit of dampness,
what i got was a boat with filled with water to about
12inch above the sole with approx. 1inch of ice on top.
it appears to be the result of 2feet of snow on the
canopy, the weight of which caused the ties & clips
to fail dumping said snow into the boat, the thaw
came did its party piece snow into water, just in
time for the arrival of temperature,s as low as
minus 18
anyone got an ice pick

Crikey that looks bad...bearing in mind water expands as ice...so reckon it may have pushed a few joints here and there... poor boat!

I dont trust my canopy in a bad storm let alone winter/snow so I wrap a tarp over the whole upper parts for winter..

Good luck with the clean up/pump out...
