We are right in the center of biggest accumulation and I expect another
foot. It must have been '96 when I bought my snow thrower after a 22
inch snow. I shoveled it then but my back didn't like it.

We're NE of Baltimore. I had to shovel a path from the back door to the greenhouse for my wife to get out there; she measured 27" of snow in that area. It was 10 degrees when I got up this morning. The greenhouse held at 60 but I'm looking forward to a large electric bill.

What type of heat do you use in your green house?



We use a 220 volt heater. The body is an orange cube about one foot on a side. I believe it's 5,000 watts. I'd like to convert to propane or fuel oil; maybe now that I'm retired I can work on that this summer.

We've converted our hoop green house into a wood frame, but didn't get
it finished before winter. We did get the sides and roof covered and
insulated and then covered the whole thing with our former hoop house
plastic cover. With all the insulation we've used half the propane this
year to heat it than we used last year, plus, since we have fish tanks
in there, the water helps maintain the ambient temps.
