Stripes under Snow

{a long time ago...}
How much snow do we have here in upstate New York? Do you remember this photo of my deck from months ago?
{buried}
Well, this morning it looked like this. Can you see the tiniest hint of the striped tablecloth?

Pretty and gorgeous drifts of snow, but dangerous with all the weight since it's a second floor deck. I shoveled off the deck, then raked the snow off the roof unto the deck and then... shoveled off the deck once more.

And how did I find a snow roof rake since all the stores here are sold out? Social networking, my friend. One request on Facebook and my friend S dropped off a roof rake to borrow within the hour. Amazing!

  7. I am not from snow country so I am amazed. In California we have enjoyed nice weather but in a few days our high will only be 47 degrees. Now I know that probably feels like summer to you but that is really cold for me.
