I was more speaking of the curling shingles than the ice. Although I have always had ice issues with the house this year has been a bit worse. The back gets about a three inch build up do to exactly what you are saying. The front gets more of thru daming in the eaves. The back will get metal either way and the front will either be a strip off and new shingles  with flashing on the eaves or metal

I icicle has been removed from the web cam. Is it a heat wave or a act of kindness to us only dreaming of the river?

Ah but the river run I'm dreaming about (mighty Hudson) is still locked solid with ice breakers keeping the channel open..  Hate to say it but I'm toast with ICE and ready for spring..  Well,,,,, maybe after LG tomorrow
Live long and prosper: Hope You and Jimi are having a blast right now:
RIP Mr. Spock

Good luck on those slippery fish, HT. Hope you have a spot on the Ellie Mae for me sometime this spring. Can you night fish off the island on the right tide? Walk out at low?  I think it's your year for another 40+.
 

That's the place. I'll be down.

Day light savings this weekend... It was getting light on the horizon at 540 this morning. Although it will get bumped to light in the morning at 640... Dark in the pm will be pushed to 730.... That,folks, in my book.... Is HUGE!!!!

Just surfing PA.511 and I'm sure happy to say I ain't out there skating around this afternoon.  I79 from Erie south and I 90 from MM 1 to MM 46 in PA. looking like things may have gotten ugly in a hurry.  6N sure didn't look like it would be a fun highway to be traveling either.  I-80 from MM 1 looks to be only wet heading East as the weather looked to have let up but, looking at radar, may be subject to some heavier rain coming out of the west.  Couldn't get other areas to the East to load the cameras for a sneak peak of conditions out that way so, I thought I'd hit this board and be a pest.(lol)
 
Speaking of weather, I just saw the NWS report for Friday through Monday and I'm happy to say the report for each of those days says something about sun shine!  How exciting is that...................!
 
With that, I've got to go, I'm going to search the internet to see if I can find out what........ a 'sun shine' is!
 
Your friend; and mine,

Roads around here turned very ugly very fast, near 2" in 2 hours.  They were dry when I finished playing a funeral this AM, but went to Hades in a hurry.
 
Front window decided to start helping to water the plants this AM.  Been hacking at the dams with small screwdriver and hammer for 2 hours, made about 8 feet, raking  about a foot and a half of snow as well.  Frostbite gets started in the fingertips and I have to take a break.  Never did get out last weekend with clearing the other side of the house, but word is that Keuka is still on fire.
 
SOL tales after I clear another 6 feet or so. 

Started out as a beautiful sunny morning on an adk lake. No people, no shanty, no heat but no fish :(
Afternoon turned cloudy and bit chilly, still no fish.
Ride home just as storm hit blue line. Freezing rain now. Ride to work will suck in am. Still no fish :(

Ps:
L-13. From ice shanty reports , that place sounds like salmon silly season.

The gage could be measuring water running over ice, or water pushed to a higher stage due to ice.  All the gages in WNY are off due to ice.
 
HT, they were talking about a small village out there, over 100 shantys on Saturdays.  But it is a big lake and a large park where people are accessing, as long as the fishing holds up and the ice is good it will be crowded close to the park.  Hoping to have the roof done by Saturday so I can try it on Sunday.

Greetings and Salutations,
 
Lucky I'm thinkin' your right, checked the Hydro Sight later last night and the flood designation for Linden Creek at Linden was taken down.  The creek makes a 'horseshoe bend' at that point and a stage of 8' over flood would surely be devastating to say, the least.
 
NWS showing stages for the "Mon @ Grays Landing"; the "Yough @ Confluence" and; the "Loyahanna @ Latrobe" nearing and/or at flood stage this morning".  No doubt the list will continue to grow, as will the degree of warning, until the cold air sinks south to slow down the 'melt off' and changes the rain to snow.
 
Will be excellent if the river/stream/creek ice would break-up and free flow, beginning in the south and gradually working it's way upstream.  Will be disastrous if, all this snow 'mupere' melts suddenly and, gozinta the rivers and streams, sending everything down stream first.
 
Brings back memories of living in Franklin, Pa. and seeing the ice dams on French Creek, just above the confluence of the Allegheny; ice chunks the size of cars laying on Otter Street from the flooding and, the flooding of Oil City, PA. caused by ice  dams at the confluence of Oil Creek at the Allegheny. 
 
Geeez..............  talk about reminiscing!

I remember those too from being in that area BTDT....but the ones on the susquehanna are worse when it ice dams

Sorry I forgot!

The snow/rain mix from yesterday/last night was like shoveling cement.  Good old heart attack snow.  Took me a while to clear everything but I'm ready for another round a wintery precipitation tonight.  This is definitely getting old............  

Jerry my 10 hp Honda two stage self propelled on tracks chewed through the snow/rain mix on my driveway but even that was WORK!Now we await round two,snow starting around mid night and ending "sometime" tomorrow,yep this is getting really old.
But Rich is correct,the ten day is looking balmy next week and SPRING is right around the corner.
