I usually store the Smoker Craft 20 X 2 OS for the winter at a place that doesn’t get as much snow as we do here in Leavenworth. However, the first real snowstorm of the year caught me off guard. I saw snow coming in the forecast and raced to Wenatchee to get a large tarp. We were leaving for Mexico the following day, and with my wife’s help, managed to get the boat covered. I wanted to do some adjustments to how the tarp fit, but it was too late. The boat remained in my driveway through the winter. Now I am tired of waiting for spring and the snow to melt around the trailer. I got a shovel out the other day and started digging. My progress was stalled because the tarp is frozen to the asphalt. I will probably melt the ice off with hot water so I can finally remove the tarp and get the boat ready for the fishing season. I am paying the price for trying to outwit winter. I really want to get down to Moses Lake for more perch fishing, and a buddy of mine got some nice walleye there the other day.
