I was very lucky the elements came back up straight when all the snow mwlted. Yard is trashed but a nice big clearing in the woods for future ant projects.

There was almost 3 inches of wet snow on each element

VERY bad situation for Amateurs and the power company. Wet Snow and cold, leaves still on the trees, etc..
Antenna took it pretty well. The elements should have come back to alignment, hopefully.

Yes I was lucky. A stock Tennadyne T12 would be on the ground.
I added about 45 pounds of metal to the hunk of junk they shipped me.
