Unfortunately the sun is high enough in the sky to melt some of the snow on the north slope of the roof. Our front door is under the north slope of the roof and despite the gadget to divert the drip, the front steps are dangerously icy.
Mr. Noddy has a broken arm. Last night Mr. Noddy removed his 2 1/2 week old cast from his broken arm.
Mr. Noddy will not be able to use the roof rake.
I'm too short and lacking upper body strength to use a roof rake--providing that I had a non-skid place to stand to attempt moving the world with an unwieldy lever.
I hope Harry o'the Plow takes pity on Senior Citizens suffering White In.
Yeah - we finally got enough snow to play in! Although it was icy due to sleet after the snow storm, it was fast for the sled - couldn't really build a snowman though as the kids wanted. But boy was that hill fast and slippery.
And it's melting nicely, too <knocks on wood>.

counting it down -- 13 hours and 5 minutes to go
Three hours and twelve minutes to go.
Large chunks of ice just fell off the roof. Dear little, always-alert Iffy just continued with her afternoon nap. She found a bit of sunshine and didn't want to waste it.
Good dog. 1 hr, 21 minutes to go.
We've got spring already since 4 hours and 14 minutes - as cold now as it was before :wink:

You're a spoilsport.
One hour, nineteen minutes....
oh yeah -- 1 hour 20 minutes into it...
Better than twelve hours of springtime now. Snow is melting.

Congratulations to all - hoping, nobody was hurt :wink:
winter always feels like a marathon to me.
summer, on the other hand, is a sprint...
I've heard, such might be a hint that our planet perhaps isn't flat at all
Every year winter is longer and longer and spring is shorter and shorter. Summer gets hotter and hotter...and we start all over again.
Snow is melting in the Poconos.

Very Inspirational!

All this week well have temps in the 30s and 40s with rain and occasional snow flurries. My least favorite type of weather.
Springtime in New England!
