Here in the land of never-ending snow, there is concern of major leaking/collapse of roofs because of all of the snow. There were major drifts on our roof, so today Ted decided to get them off....

Step 1: going through Kaleb's closet window, using an ice chipper to loosen it.

Step 2: That's Ted, on the roof, shoveling the ice snow off

Step 3: using a snow rake (didn't know they had those, huh?) to scrape the rest of it off

Step 4: (Actually this was step 1) breaking off this ginormous icicle from Kaleb's closet gutter and carrying it through the house to our lawn. It's now a beautiful ice sculpture in the front lawn.

And a posting wouldn't be complete without a shot of Fashion Princess. Still wearing her "ballerina". This day, we were walking to our neighbors to play, so at least she put on her "warm leggers"
The excitement of winter never ends.

That was great entertainment for yesterday, but what is in store for today? I hope I don't have to rely on someone else for my Hickory Hills watching pleasure. Oh yeah, and, nice rake! Was that inappropriate? I think it's the meds. Lord, just get us to Obi-one-kanobi!
OK-- I've had it! NO MORE SNOW!!! Can we possibly take any more snow? I know I'm ready for spring!! The neighborhood might start referring to your house as the black hole the way everything keeps getting stuck there. Geesh!
I need to get some of those warm leggers! She's a riot! I can't believe Ted went out onto the roof to get the snow off! That's scary with all the ice. At least you have a lovely lawn ornament ice sculpture to show for all of it!
WOW!!! What else can I say?!?! I have to admit that I had NO idea that they even made a snow rake and I've lived in Wisconsin forever! That means it must be REALLY bad snow! Sounds like you need a warm vacation!
I love that guy! He's so Tim the Tool Man Taylor (not our Tim of course). His snow moves are quite impressive. Who thinks of a snow rake?! Why didn't you get my dad to bring the bobcat up so Ted could reach better?! He totally would have done it. =)
Yes, and that's what my dad was doing last winter (at age 79, no less) - pushing that snow off his roof! Of course he tried to tell me that his roof is very flat, but come on. Maybe I should buy him a roof rake. His birthday is in May - do you think the snow will be gone by then???
