Raking the Roof

Raking the Roof
Yesterday I spent three and a half hours raking snow off my roof.  It was a great workout however I can think of better ways to spend my time.  I did this because we are supposed to receive 8 to 14 inches of heavy wet snow today. I was afraid that if this was added to the already 14 inches on my roof I may have a problem, especially on my barn which has seen better days.  I was able to remove about 80% of the snow because even with a 30 foot extension pole there were some areas I just could not reach.

It just started snowing here about an hour ago and is supposed to last into the day tomorrow.  Anyone who wants a free lesson in how to rake a roof just show up at my house on Saturday. Allow yourself three and a half hours for this lesson.

  1. Peter I had to rake my roof this winter too. Last month's blizzard dumped over 2' of snow. I did only a portion of the roof. The snow drifted on the south side of the house and the north side was covered lightly.
    It is a great workout. We had another snowfall today. You're getting it also. What's nice about snowfall in March is that it melts quickly.

  2. I guess we can thank the snow for keeping our upper bodies in shape Robert. I'm glad we're in March.
