I know you will get the snow off ... must be a job and a half ... Good Luck!

I often had to get the snow off our roof ...

Kev,

I am so sorry about your weather this year.  I can relate.  I spent 14 years in Rochester New York, and tell people I moved to Columbus for the weather.

Seriously, we are sending more snow your way, so get that roof clear.....

Hi Kevin, I was a kid growing up north of Boston and loved the winters. My dad, not so much. After a particularly bad winter in 55/56, he had his fill of going down to the cellar and feeding coal to the furnace and digging the Buick out of snow banks, we moved to sunny So Cal. Thanks Dad:-)

Good luck back there. Wish you could figure a way to send some of it our way.

OMG Kevin.
I guess my leaving Southwick MA and moving to Duluth MN was good timing!
We just got 12" up here (maybe)
However, -18 F this Sunday morning.
Did you watch Gernold's video cleaning his roof? Rudy posted it.

Stay warm,

 I posted this picture before but seems to kind of fit in with this topic :). It was taken of my 250SL back in the winter of '67 in Kayenta, Arizona. Woke up in the morning to find the car buried and after borrowing a broom and shovel from the hotel manager, got the car started and headed north on unplowed roads to Monument Valley. Only used chains for about an 1/2 hour later in the day. It was an incredible trip!
