    I personally live about 20 minutes outside Halifax and were I am is almost a bit of a snow belt so I have more snow here than is in the city. I am headed up on my roof shortly to try and shovel off the massive snow drifts I have up there before we get rain tomorrow, then the freezing. Ugh!
    Needless to say, be careful. Is there any warmth in the near future?

    Well, if I am on here posting tomorrow, you know it went well.

    I own a bungalo so it's not a steep pitched roof. Not to mention, I have tons of snow to land in should I decide down is the way to go.

    I suppose I should duck after I say that we've had 60's and 70's for about the last 10 days or so. Even had a couple of days in the 80's, that is unusual though.

    I hate Kansas with a passion, but after seeing Axeman's photo I'm thinking it's not so bad. It's tolerable at least in comparison to all that white stuff.

    I guess I'm lucky that my roof is steep. I barely have any snow up there.

    Did it take you a long time to clean?

    I was out there for a couple hours. I only got the back side cleared.

    Yikes! My brother in law was there on business this week. He was one of the few that actually showed up.

    Damn that's a lotta snow! I haven't heard about any power outages. Often with that much snow, power goes out. Glad to see you are still posting!

    Ah yes Spring time. When the snow finally melts and shows the accumulation of 5 months of dog dung in my back yard.
