Back to Back Major Synoptic Snowstorms!

Recommended Posts

Brutal day today. My electronic buried wire dog fence went down and my Siberian husky figured it out in only a few hours while I was watching soccer. Spent 2 hrs hunting him down as he refuses to listen when he gets loose. Huskies are notorious Houdini's.

Then...spent the next 5 hours trying to find the break, snowshoeing back and forth in the yard (5 acres), splicing wires, getting up and down a lot to dig out a foot of snow just to reach the mostly frozen ground underneath to find wire runs etc. Finally got it working at dark but had to sectionalize it to a smaller area for now.

Will continue tomorrow as from the look of things, the 12-15" snowpack (18+" in drifts) is going to substantially grow here soon.

Having a glass or two of wine, my old bones are feeling it.

Lifesaver. We have 3 acres covered by fence, broke at the main splice on ours.

I have that. Doesnt work well on long loops. I have about 4.5 acres looped and I lose signal when I get (not even) halfway out.  So I abandoned using it.  Brute force using splice points to sectionalize.is the only way I have to identify a break area or "weak" section.

Did I mention that I like this one? Lol

While the next few days look good for basically everyone on this forum, this is the kind of set-up where Rochester cashes in. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out for you guys.
