Since I’m going to the US in a few days I had to shovel some snow from the roof – if it’s get warmer we get more moisture in the air which means that the snow is going to get heavier. And if there is a lot of snow the roof could cave in due to the weight (something that has happened several times this winter – not our roof though ).
Because of this I got up a bit earlier today and started to shovel snow, after an hour or so I came to the part of the roof where the snow was the deepest. Here it was something like 160-170 cm of snow – I don’t think I’ve seen more snow on the roof in the 12 years I lived in Umeå. Nice.
There are some problems getting up on the roof, before you can actually get up on the roof you have to shovel away some snow. Getting down is much easier – you just walk down. Guess what the really difficult part is
Yesterday I was a bit disappointed because it looked like everybody else except us were getting snow – I really dislike dark wet autumns/winters (and it can’t be winter without snow) – so it was a really nice surprise this morning when there was a very thin layer of snow outside.
It’s not much but I do appreciate that Mother Natures tried to comfort me in some way.
