With our RECORD snow fall, over 11 FEET this winter, it all had to come off some time. It had been warming up the first of April and finally on April 2, 2012--ALL the rest of the snow and ice that was on our roof decided to come down all at once. Luckily we were home on that Sunday afternoon. It sounded like a big plane or freight train going by.
Guess where it landed??? RIGHT ON OUR WALKWAY!. Thankfully no one was there when it came down. There was a LOT of ice and snow combined and it was very hard packed when all that weight came tumbling down. Tom was contemplating how we were going to move all that off our walkway. Thankfully a neighbor came over and helped chip and shovel it away. Thank for Lord for good neighbors.
This is our back deck after a lot of the ice and snow fell off the roof, even though we had "snow stops" on the roof to try to help prevent this. But...because of the weight of all the ice and snow, it just tore them right off the roof. Now, guess what we get to do this summer? Put them back up and repair our roof, and get ready for next year. :-)
About 4 or 5 feet of hard packed snow and ice from our roof, on our walkway.
Tom and our neighbor made it through, YEAH! We now have our walkway back.
