The higher temperature caused the precipitation we had last night and today to arrive in the form of freezing drizzle and mist. It doesn't look like we lost much snow, however.
The heavy snows of the last 2 weeks made it necessary for Steve to rake the roof. Here's the result.
I shot that photo from inside our office. Steve is standing right next to the snow pile created from raking that section of the roof. Here's a shot from the exterior. The pile in the above photo is on the right side of the back door in following photo.
Can you also see the huge mound of snow on the deck in the above shot? Here's how it looked from inside.
Yep, that's taken through the window above the kitchen sink. The piles had to wait until the next day to be moved, as Steve had already put in a full day outside by the time the last shot was taken. The next day was bright and beautiful, and the temps had finally hit those double digits - a good day to be outside. He headed back out to finish the job, but he figured he might as well have a little fun at the same time. This was the result.
I pulled back the curtain to give you a better look. Cocoa really enjoyed that tunnel. It gave her access to the window again!
A boy and his dog - It's a beautiful thing!
You can tell they're buddies, can't you? Steve finished moving the pile off the deck just in time for another fresh coating the next morning.
Here's a shot of the pile that was moved off the deck. You can see it between the trees - topped with the fresh snow.
Uh oh! It looks like he has more work to do before Super Bowl Sunday.
The BBQ grill is covered again, and he's going to need it!
All is well in the Keweenaw.
