It is large enough to make progress, didn't scratch the deck, and snow doesn't freeze to it. But this does beg the question, should I really need a snow shovel on a yacht?

I wasn't here for the last storm, just the aftermath. This time I am more prepared: get the coils of line up off the deck so they don't freeze in place, don't let the snow remelt ints an ice cake, etc.

On Wunderground at the Little Creek reporting station, 21 degrees and north 15, wind chill of 7. Just now starting to snow.
