I think you have all underestimated the POWER of the PILE!!!!

Seen piles last weeks after the event, and can be a real pain in the A****

good luck all

Don't worry mate, no sleepless night for you as my entry is safe. Wish I could have put it back a couple of weeks until may now.

Afternoon-

Was just waiting for the other half to come home- officially the pile is dead-

Confirmed DOA at 8am this morning when she checked- the last layer was there at 1 am last night- which means we have 3 people in the frame for the win-

We had assumed today would be the last knockings in the sunshine-

I am going to go back & check the time of votes in a min- but the person with the first vote out of the 3 will win

Can we now guess on when you have enough snow to make another similar sized pile?

WELL DONE!

Thanks Steve.

I did not have a award acceptance speach written or nothing prepared.

HOWEVER

I'd like to thank the big snowman in the sky. My family for putting up with my lamp post watching when snow is in the forecast. But above all I'd like to thank you guys & girls at n-w for making this forum such a fun and vibrant place to share your passion for the weather.

Thank You All.
