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?

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!
