You know, it's been a long harsh winter...in fact, last winter was hailed as a "generational winter" but this year has been even colder. I'm really getting tired of it, but as long as it's still February...I can deal (sort of, it's supposed to be cold in February). If this kind of cold/snow persists into March I'll start complaining.
Spent an hour or so this morning shoveling about a ton of snow off our roof. We have an old house that's been added to over the years, so there are places on the roof where snow really tends to accumulate (depends on wind direction). We learned the hard way the first year that if it piles up too much, it starts melting from below and water will find it's way in under the flashing at one of the junction points. I think I cleared away enough of the snow and resulting glacier but may have to make another pass once I recover.
