I wondered how you...Yikes - that is a LOT of snow. I wondered how you were holding up under all the snow we've had. I'm sure you've studied the dangers of snow shoveling and the proper ways to shovel to avoid serious consequences. I'm glad your cabin didn't flip. I remember winters in S.E. Alaska when I was a kid - when we'd have heavy snowfalls we'd have to go down and shovel off our dad's fishing boat. It was amazing how fast it would sink lower in the water in what seemed like a fairly small snowfall - but it adds up quickly. Sometimes we'd even have to go down to the dock in the middle of the night to shovel - and our dad made sure that the shoveling was equal on both sides of the boat - for, as you say, it can flip easily. Glad the snow is gone now - we managed by just staying home - Don was off work for three days because the roads were too bad to travel so he worked from home.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-48296284293543869012017-02-16T18:35:04.044-08:002017-02-16T18:35:04.044-08:00Yah, we contend with snow on the roof!Yah, we contend with snow on the roof!The Furry Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02485265576983125216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-87030388337026133302017-02-16T14:08:34.959-08:002017-02-16T14:08:34.959-08:00I heard you have rain now!!!
