Snowmageddon!

[Staggerwing]

Dan, this snow ain't melting away after a couple of 38F-40F days. It will just get packed down more.

Also, I'm not in Boston. I can see Long Island from my roof.

Ha!

^If you're bored y'all can come up here and help me shovel since the frakking tire just came of my blower- cheap piece of crap! Keeping the old ticker in mind, I've got an few more sessions of regular shoveling until I get the the end of the drive, where a trifecta of town bulldozer, front-end loader, and aforementioned hapless DPW plowtruck have built me a wall of snow high enough to keep the entire Pictish Confederation out for a decade or two.

This is the worst.  Especially now that there has been a little melting and refreezing.  You may want to look into something explosive to deal with this.  Bangalore torpedoes come to mind.   ;D

'Wing maybe I can get my dog to pull a tabogen up to you for rescue. He'll arrive with rum under his chin, of course.

We're supposed to get ice tonight that will turn to rain tomorrow. Long term forecast is for another storm next weekend. That will be much more dangerous as my mother will be visiting for the weekend.

I don't want to think about it.

Thanks for the offer, Gus. My kids and I are set up pretty good as far as heat and vittles. Beer OTOH...  :(
On second though that little keg of rum might come in handy.

We can only hope next weekend will be a dud. For tomorrow, I'm just thrilled about having to shovel snow/ice in the rain. This storm just keeps on giving doesn't it?

Hmmm... tempting... or maybe an M4 Rhino variant.  :D

Right now the forecast for next week is for snow both Saturday and Sunday :/ I may have to climb to the roof and shovel off what is there after tomorrow's ice and rain before my house starts to crack like an egg shell.

News here indicates you guys need to get that snow off your roofs ASAP. When the rain comes, the snow will absorb it and they're worried roofs will fail under the weight.

[Gusington]

Too dangerous now. It's dark out and my roof is snow covered. Plus my roof is about 75 feet off the ground at it's high point. I will be seriously injured if not killed out right if I go up there now.

...maybe I'll send The Wife :)

A warehouse in my town already collapsed yesterday morning. I doubt it'll be the last.

I have a pitched roof and a roof rake so after I breach Frosty's Rampart I'll try and get some of that stuff off the roof as well.

[Gusington]

My roof is also pitched. I need to get a roof rake, I always forget before I need it.

75' is kinda long even for a roof rake. Some have optional extensions but I'm not sure how many you can add before it bends under it's own weight.

Maybe if Gus wore high heels?

They don't make'em 74 feet six inches, do they?

Pics or it didn't happen!

You guys are silly. I have porch and one room that I can climb on top of to get to the highest part of the roof if I have to. I do that to clean the gutters.
