Thank god my roof is metal... its a slow but steady fall off... don't think I'd ever do a shingle job on it as I would never want to shovel it... tuna, your pic of your home would fit right in with these parts up here. What a winter for everyone it seems. I just left the house to go to the store and a mile down the road its not snowing... but so far two inches in my driveway and still snowing. Thank god for 4 wheel drive and my good friend john d

I guess some people don't prefer the look... I'd say for the price and ease of installation they're great. If you're really looking for long term Standing seam is the way to go as there are no penetrations through the actual roofing material but I believe its about twice the cost of standard corrugated.

What about people looking to fish this Wed.

HT I almost went up on Sunday.   I have Thursday through Monday off, with T,F,S being on the ice.   If it is not too bad I may go up to the river on Monday as crowds will hopefully be down.

Nobody really fishes in the winter Tuna.
They talk about it but no one does it.
Not even fichy this year

not quite tug area status but it's starting to pile up in such a short time..
started snowing wet and heavy today. while i may be able to isolate broken water pipes , i couldn't take the chance at a roof collapse so shoveled off the other half ..  this winter stuff is really getting old, even for me..

I gotta think we been lucky with snowfall here.. all this stuff came in less then week & 1/2..
All I have to move it is an ATV and shovel ,which made that pile.. When I was a kid this seemed normal, but then I was only 3' tall.lol..
Cold I can deal with, snow I HATE and it has got old real quick !!!
Starting to play with my open water gear

Left this AM at 0645 and came home at 530 to a fresh 4 to 6 inches of heavy wet stuff.  Thank goodness dad's plow is fixed.  All's I needed to do was shovel the steps.

I drove home near midnight in a fog bank with black ice conditions.. We got 3 " snow today and I will plow tomorrow, It's 12 degs outside now.. I want my access areas clean after the warm up into freeze again..
The nasty stuff (rain/ice) is supposed to hit here into friday.. I'm now fearing I may have to shovel off my mothers roof at some point tomorrow..
 
Jack, I do believe this snow crap will end but what lies ahead for stream fishers is my concern this spring.. High , cold , muddy waters..
Things may turn into an ice out brook trout pond fishery for me until mid June when the moving water settles back down.. I still think I will be walking on water at Lake George in April once again..
 

HT-
 
There are a lot worse things than ice out brookie pond fishing, and it might last until mid July this year,  Of course, that means it may not open up until Memorial Day, and the little black demons will be around all summer, or until the deer flies eat them all!
 
Small tribs should be roaring this weekend, and then down to fishing level in March (which is when a couple of them came on strong last year).   Should be a lot of antsy chromers in the frog water along the lake after all this ice.

We got a sort of break as we are getting a rain/freezing rain event this morning and it will rise to low 40's this afternoon so I'm just going to leave it melt and stay home until tomorrow.I'm not even thinking about fishing right now!

All rain down here HT.  The problem is it has turned walks, driveway and roads to a sheet of ice.  Give me the snow anytime over frozen precip and rain this time of year.

You're right clint...extremely windy right now and its a warmer wind. Raining also but north and east looks like snow.

My 20+ inches of pack in my side yard is down to a soft 12 with the ground underneath saturated... Small creeks and trickles have water flowing over them... this could get ugly for some tribs. All depends on this rain letting up. but even so the snow is drenched underneath. I imagine the corn fields may go to bare ground from this one
