Collapsing Roofs under Too Much Snow

Collapsing Roofs under Too Much Snow

Gaylord Herald Times Reminds Residents to Clean Off Roof Snow

– Our local paper is reminding residents to remove some of the snow off their roofs . Especially small sheds to eliminate them collapsing. Today’s picture we took a couple of blocks from our house of one of many campers in town with extreme amounts of snow on the roofs. Campers were really not designed to hold this much weight. We are lucky our motorhome is stored inside and out of all the snow. It will be in good shape with no roof damage for our camping this summer down on the farm again.

Still Cold

Thirty-five below zero windchills tonight again. We got maybe 2 inches of snow overnight and lots of wind. High temps today near zero and 20 below tonight. The weatherman is saying with the high winds tonight it will feel like 35 below zero. BRRR

This morning I was outside early shoveling the new snow and then I hopped in my truck and plowed it in windrows and then hopped on the little JD and used the snowblower to pile it up on top of my 8-foot tall snowbanks.

The plow truck does a great job collecting the snow and putting it in windrows. This cuts the time of the snowblower gears and driveshafts having to run and extend the life of the tractor too. I also plow the ends of the driveway for my two neighbors so they can get out until they do the rest of their driveways themselves later in the day.

Two more days it will be March 1st and I think it is time to (THINK SPRING)!

Have a great Thurs.
