Pushing snow of the roof in
anticipation of a big storm

Bluebird skies this morning were very deceptive. It seemed like perfect weather, although the weather forecasters are warning that the "Big One" is on the way.

All over town, people were finishing up last minute chores to get ready for an anticipated 2 feet of snow. I spent part of the afternoon pushing snow off of a section of flat roof over some of our guest rooms. I probably did not need to do it, but forecasters are calling for this storm to be heavier than the Valentines Day Storm, so it is better to be safe than sorry. Untouched snow on the roof was knee deep and still light and fluffy, giving testament to the quality of the Valentines Day Blizzard. It would be nice if this next storm does the same.

I took the snow stake picture late in the afternoon so we can get a true reading of the anticipated snow storm. I also put my powder skis back in the car. Given that I have not skied the last 2 days, I am all set to head to the mountain first thing tomorrow morning, without any guilt about having to work. Of course, I hope I need to use the snow blower for hours late in the afternoon. A nice snow dump would be good! Let it snow!
