So we got some more snow last week - about 14.5" over two days. It was pretty sad that only 4 people made it to work on Wednesday. That is less people than made it when we had the 21+" previously. Once again most of the state shut down. At least it made the driving easier - very little traffic to contend with.
If we don't get a partial thaw soon, I am going to have a real problem shoveling over the mounds of snow by the walkways and paths, I'm already throwing it as far as I can:
WS had to shovel off the tops of the mounds of snow from snowblowing next to the road. When it just hits and slides back down, one has to do something.
Right now it is snowing again, but looks like it will turn to freezing rain. The roof is finally dumping its load from the last two storms:
WS had started to pull the snow off the edges (you can see the pole in the top pic) to help relieve the load on the roof (the snow was too light, and temps way to cold, for the roof to dump). However, today it has warmed up, and the snow near the metal had started to melt, which started the sliding. 5 minutes after I took the picture, most of the ice came off the front.
Definitely don't want to be under that when it goes!
Couldn't agree more. I'm guessing that would leave a mark.

Bogie--But don't your front steps and house look nice with the snow? (I can say that...I'm not the one shoveling your snow.)
We had only 5-6 inches and it was dry snow, so it was easy for even me to shovel - although the piles in the portion coming out of the garage, where we have a triple garage width to shovel, the piles at the sides got pretty thick. I needed to get the snow onto the plants and grass. It has been too dry for the last few months for me to waste the snow melt on the street.

We're running in to the same problem here. I've had to cut back the tops of some of the snow mounds because the snowblower can no longer through snow over them.
At least we have some melting today, though I don't know how much it will help the situation.
