Nearly 3 days of rain and 50 degrees plus is upon us. If you wish to keep your backyard set-up alive after all the snow melts due to this shitty time period, I recommend you do what I did and go outside with multiple trash bags, fill them with snow, and stick them in the freezer for later use.

Happy post-rain backyard shredding!

How big is your freezer?

How small is your set up?

well, clearly you're not going to have enough snow for a large set up after weather like this, so I have enough to set up a rail or two

consolidating snow into a pile and then cover it with tarps on top and bottom will be a lot more effective

all the snow in my yard is gone.

But my hill has like a 3 1/2 foot base so they'll be fine after this storm

I know your pain OP. I was planning on having a gnar session at my college in Indiana and then it got up to 60 degrees and rained for two straight days. 6 inches of snow gone :(

there is nothing more depressing than driving down from up north (where the snow was already rapidly disappearing) to CT where everything was muddy, brown, dead and ugly.

supposed to start snowing around new years again though so cheer up everyone!
