Coaledsweat,

What? Please expound on this???[/quote]

Up here in northern Maine we get lots of wind putting fir tree limbs (boughs) around a home keeps the snow from blowing away from the home. We call it banking the house...the snow is a great insulator!

Well hell, so much for my tree theory--I did get the snow part right!

Great idea!

I just happened to have a few 8' long 5" diameter icicles fall off the house, which did the same thing for me ...
