Heck, round 2 has just started and #3 is on the west coast right now. Might have to get to drag'n some snow off the roofs pretty soon. Seen one of my neighbors shoveling his roof off today.( allready ripped his gutter off one side of the house)


You know some people damage their shingles doing this too...Also know of two people that died. they fell off the roof removing snow.  See this is why one has homeowners insurance....I know their is a deductible..However you can do more damage with the shovel to your roof and also to yourself.....

You are absolutely correct....a shovel and shingles dont mix.
THIS IS SPARTA!!

A ladder along side of a house with ice on the ground does not mix either...

Am off work today due to weather conditions....
I work for a major trucking company and we are closed today due to weather and road conditions. Years ago, they would send drivers out on days like this and think nothing of it, like it was a sunny day.
I think insurance has something to with saying off roads nowadays.

Ernie, I heard you folks got lots of snow. Good. Keep it to southern Pa....LOL.
After today, the snow may be axle deep to a Ferris Wheel!!

HERN
At 8:30 am we passed the 12 inch mark.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

Buckwheat your right just looked at the weather map. The low is stuck right over your house. Better get on the roof soon.

I'm still loving the snow. This is the most I have ever seen. We will have about 50 inches in less then a week.

Off topic, but, do you guys know when the next extreme predator issue comes out? I joined PPHA in early January and haven't gotten one yet.

I used the wrong "verbage". Instead of shovel, I meant to say "push'n/drag'n " device. A long handled scraper so to speak. You don't have to take everything off. Extreme conditions call for things that you would not normally do for self preservation.

Yes, you have home owners ins. but to do NOTHING and let the roof cave in is not really a smart move !!!!
Whatado !!!!

I  fell off of a ladder two January's ago cleaning out leaves from my gutter...Knew it could happen with ice on the ground and it did.. Lucky The rung on the ladder did not break my leg.  Had cable restraints set in the wild too at that time. X Ray proved no breaks of the femur etc etc..  Put leaf guards on the gutters after that experience that Spring....thank God I was taking plenty of Calcium since no bones broke.

So , lets get this straight, you would rather hunt fox and let your roof collapse ? Don't make sense to me, but to each his own. Whatever !!!!!! ???
