How much rock can this puppy hold

Yep, snowing, but not very big flakes.

We lost power for about half the day with Sandy. Very fortunate--I know a lot of people who were without for more than a week.

Wow- you were lucky. I lost power in Manhattan for a week.
 
You guys were hit much harder than PA, though. We had wind, a bit of rain. I didn't even manage to get out of work.
 
Would help to out down a later if egg crate (light diffuser panel) to protect the bottom.

As long as you lay the rocks on the bottom first, there won't be a problem. Honestly everyone worries too much.
