How do you open the door when the snow slides off the roof and piles infront of it ?

No need to open the door, when it snows the UK grinds to a halt, so he can stay at home and do some round tuits.

Was a bit stressful going past the point of no return but it has turned out ok. Need to add some more timber round the locks and I’m going to add some to the back of the fibreglass to strengthen it. Also needs some seals to the edges of the door and a bit of touching up to the frame where it’s been cut.

Wait the half hour for half inch of soggy snow to melt . . . If it's really enough snow to block the door, it's too cold to be in the garage!

Bloke I worked with in Jamestown just down the road from you said the coldest he'd ever been was when he got dragged over here to see his wife's family - a few degrees negative sounds positively warm compared to the -20C that day in Jamestown - but the damp - just seems to seep in and chill the bones!

Yup.
And just west over the boarder in Pa is a leetle town called "little hope" and they get blasted with so much snow, I call
it "No Hope".
The OP did list his location as "up north".....
