How can I avoid damaging my skis if there is a shortage of snow?

Ski gear problems - Frequently asked questions
Firstly, keep your speed down and focus on the terrain ahead. Be very careful skiing just after a snowfall as new snow will lightly cover any rocks that were visible before. This applies both on and off-piste. If you can't avoid hitting a stone, take it down the length of the ski, rather than across it. This will help prevent an edge being blown out. But don't worry too much about it - skis are meant to be skied on and enjoyed."

How can I avoid damaging my crop-a-dile?

We R Memory Keepers | Frequently Asked Questions
The Crop-a-dile is one of the toughest tools out there, but though unlikely, it can be damaged. The Crop-a-dile was made to go through things such as chipboard, leather, and pure tin, but when you start trying to punch stainless steel you may be disappointed. Use good judgment. Also, be sure that when setting eyelets you use the correct side on the top and bottom-- using it upside down will cause the eyelet to be crimped onto your tool, which is a predicament you'll want to avoid.

Q : How can I remove snow without damaging the installation?

Hanover® Architectural Products -- Residential
A : For most residential applications, conventional methods of snow removal are acceptable (ie. shoveling or snowblowing). Care should be taken to make sure the skid plates are set to maintain a clearance between the snowblower and the bricks so as not to scratch the bricks. Please note, the use of heavy snow removal equipment may damage your brick or the installation. Ice melting chemical products which do not contain calcium chloride are recommended for use.

Question: How can I avoid damaging real plaster walls when hanging pictures?

Picture Hang Solutions: FAQ Page
The special needlepoint nails that come with our Brass-Plated Hooks are designed to go into plaster walls with much less danger of cracking the plaster surface. When using regular hooks, it is often recommended to place an "X' of masking or other removable tape on the wall at the point where the picture hook nail goes in (remove the tape before hanging the picture). Taping certainly can't hurt, but don't count on this method alone to prevent plaster cracks.

Is it ever too cold to snow?

Frequently Asked Questions about Snow Crystals
In principle it can snow at any temperature below freezing. It snows at the South Pole even though the temperature is rarely above -40 C (-40 F). In more hospitable climates, however, it doesn't snow so much when the temperature is below around -20 C (-4 F). When a parcel of moist air cools, it starts producing snow before it gets that cold. By the time the temperature drops to -20 C, the snow has already fallen and the air is pretty dry.
