This spring seems to just be an extended winter. Any other Canadian growers having better luck?

Hey Cameron. No luck here down in southern Alberta. Late March and early April was hot and dry, well above normal. Now that I've got my pumpkin into my shelter, it goes and snows. It got down to -1 last night, but inside my shelter was 11 above. I'm not too worried about the pumpkin, it is the shelter I'm worried about. I brushed off about 2 inches of snow off it this morning, but it's still coming down and it's very heavy. Any amount more than that and it might cave in. Too bad I can't take off work to keep it clear.
Merry Christmas everyone!
