Officially 17" in Lowell, MA. Wierd that we probably picked up the most snow in New England.

Edit: just saw those western MA totals a few posts above, so not quite the most in New England but still very close. Still wierd given the location of Lowell.

Plowed this morning for a 4th time since yesterday . Stuck a yardstick in the middle of the yard , it measured 20 " , Am about to go up and shovel the roofs on the front and back porches and the Sunroom which is a shed roof style .

The main gambrel roof is too damn high for me to get up there at 67 -- yeah i'm a chicken shit

It's good to be a chicken sh*t - Super Bowl tie in. Former Packer WR Max McGhee (he catches the TD pass from Starr in all the highlights) died a few years ago when he fell off his roof cleaning out gutters. Don't screw with roofs.

Don't screw with roofs.

My roof is wicked high. Two stories in front, three in back. Falling off is just not worth the risk to me. I'll take my chances, and if something happens, well that's what home owner's insurance is for. Luckily, I only have a few drifted areas up there. Still gonna try the ice dam sock thing, but that's going to be done by swinging them up from the upper floor windows, not going out on the roof.

Well blowing the snow clear of the house prevents the ole shovel the roof then shovel it away from the foundation of the house issue.

I had two tables like that in my yard. Eventually the wife nagged me enough to clear of the one with the glass top before it broke.

Looks like VT may have finally surpassed CT in snow totals!

That's funny...and a bit scary at the same time. I bet it's a huge timesaver though.

Wait, isn't the idea to blow the snow off of the roof, and NOT onto a higher one :idea:
