It would have to get at least four feet deep, to get to the intake on my house. Worst thing would be icing in those areas that are colder right now, but where is it colder? We are getting into the 50's today, so bring on the warm weather. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Minus 1 and 2" of snow and you can taste the driving fear out there. Just wanted to say we've had a few DIY postings about snow ball blocked intakes so even the height of the intake doesn't guarentee it's clear.

Posts: 1,047	snow and induced draft heating With the exception of the work I do and the past work of Uncle Clover, alot of the combustion and exhaust terminations I have seen were never above snowline. Customers always insist that the terminations be kept out of sight. Lucky for me my customers allow tech specs to trump aesthetics. Last edited by hvac5646; 01-16-2012 at 11:45 AM.
