I don't know if that was worse than my 60 mph winds and torrential downpour
or not.

With the snow, I'm assuming the ground was frozen? The rain got into my
equipment and the ground was a mudbath. When I left the site, I had thoughts
of never entering another contest as a QRP-Portable. Now I'm thinking about
how to surmount such situations if they happen again. Anyway, good job and
glad you could work EME portable, something I only dream of.
