Perhaps I will jump off the roof. Trouble is the ladder is buried under the snow.

You can't win. Even if you had the ladder the snow would cushion the fall.

Your lying Rob, the thermometer clearly says 15*. So it is obvious you took those pics in the summer. :D Has anybody heard from Pierre?

The thermometer does not show the wind roaring off the lake. EFM is laughing at it, but chewing through a lot of coal.

Only snowing lightly now. Just went out away from the house and the tape measure shows 25 inches of snow. And that's on the more sheltered, downwind side of the house. Up wind side, the neighbor's picket fence is almost covered.

And this is just round one of snow each day until Monday. :shock:
