We had a good snowfall at Truckee (KTRK) last night. I was checking out the webcam and saw this. Fortunately my plane is safe in it's hanger.

In NJ, after a heavy snow fall, the Cessnas are all facing the sky.  The weight of the snow is enough to send the Cg behind the mains...

A little melting, The snow slides off, and the nose wheel smacks the pavement...

Don’t let the snow slide off..!  That could get expensive...

Best regards,
