| warning......Roofs Keep an eye on your shed row/ flat roofs. The weight of this snow can be too much weight for them. I have a 45ft section I will be out there trying to shovel off. fun fun fun |

| The temps here are warm enough that the snow has slid off my barn. We have a rain/sleet mix right now..

| I'm more worried about trees falling on my mini barns while the minis are in them. Had one locust tree miss by inches a few storms ago.

| I have a metal A-frame roof on my barn... right now the snow just slides right off (no shoveling required). But I want to add gutters in the spring... which in my mind will prevent the snow from just "sliding" off like it does now with no gutters (in percy's photo it looks like that's where the snow is getting stuck at and piling up). Would it be better to just leave without gutters? Seems like a lose/lose. |

| Gutters are horrible without the snow pegs to hold heavy snow up to melt and not slide...that is what kills your gutters! But those pegs make cleaning your roof in really heavy snows harder. I do not have them but I have wanted them for some time. Yesterdays job would of been much harder if the barn had them. |

| R.I.P.....Quiet Valley hay barn (only the round bales holding the roof off the ground) and 2 run ins.  Anyone else see the HUGE furniture storage facility that bit the dust on rt 235 in California?? Or the snow people in the median? They were cute.
