No heat on the back steps??? Binx trap???

HeHe!!! Not really! Ya can't easily put the tubing in brick stoops Jim. Otherwise I'd have done them too. But the top platform of each stoop is also heated, just not the Bluestone tread. ;)

Here's one from a few minutes ago from my side door. This snow was in just 1 hour.

Damn! Snowing even HARDER and getting colder now! Slab dropped 2 more degrees, and a lil slush is starting to appear. It's building up heavily elsewhere. My system is max'ed out. It might have melt any accumulation if it can't keep up with the snow rate. Man! Getting to my XMas party tonight's gonna be fun!!! :nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

No huge snows here this year, just a couple of small ones, most 5". But here some from the past years.

Holy crap Craig! You'd need some REAL boiler HP to keep up with that! Any amount can be handled, but how much HP ya need is the conundrum! Man, I don't envy that part of living in the Rockies! :nixweiss:

Well that was an abnormal winter, it depends on the wind current, it the storms come in off the mountains, like they usually do, we usually don't get it to bad here, dumps in the high country, but if the storm swirls in from the east it can cause these storms. Usually snows and in two or three days it's gone.

But I don't know if the boiler would clear these big shows very fast!  :confused5:

Yeah, unless you had a system that could put out enough heat to put up with ANY anount of snow rate, temp, and wind velocity, that amount of accumulation would take quite awhile to melt if it stayed cold out. But it can be done. You'd space the tubing much closer together, creating more loops in the system. Enough BTU's at a high enough temp, that chit would never ever stick at all, so no accumulation. Prolly cost a fortune in gas though! :nixweiss:

The Bobcat looks like a nice alternative for you! :2vrolijk_21:

Well, it caught up again. I got the boiler water temp up again and it's keeping up with the snow pretty good now. ;)
