I live in SE WI. The climate here is probably a hair worse temperature wise, but a hair better snow wise than our OP.
I have 9 outbuildings. I am with whoever said barns only hold animals and hay. If we go with this theory I have:
one garage - upgraded to W facing overhead
one shed - 3 large short sliders facing west
one grainery - 2 small tall sliders facing west
one cow barn - 2 sliders facing E and W
one chicken coop - just a service door facing E
one pen barn - 2 sliders facing N and S
one pig barn - 2 sliding service doors facing N and S
one corn crib - 2 small tall sliders facing E and W
one tool shed - 2 service doors facing N and E
I really don't care what way the doors are facing. If you own a shovel you are fine. If you are too fricking lazy and just use the skid loader to get close and call it good your are going to have problems. I have to shovel out my pen barn, pig barn, and machine shed doors a few times per week, snow or not. I also have to chip away ice and crap sometimes. (AMS works really nice to help break it up :roll: Dosn't bind the door like rock salt) So in conclusing, I don't care what way a door faces you have to take care of it in the winter. Also, you build the shed so you can get in the fricking thing. A door on the south side won't do a bit of good if you can't get in it. Try and put a shed up meeting your exacting standards on my 3 acres with 9 existing buildings. I bet you don't get everything you hope for in placement and size!

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
