Snow is getting real deep now,and we usually get a fair bit in March too.Went for a run today,picked up a med size cat at a new jackpot. Gonna have to clear the camp roof soon I guess.

That is not a lot of work clearing snow off the roof.I just did my house roof yesterday,its 4 times bigger,but not quite as deep snow. I use a snow float. Its pretty easy cause you are floating the snow downhill,lol. At home the bigger job is removing it after it is on the ground-If you leave it for a few hours it turns solid as a rock.I use the atv and plow to push it away.If it turns solid you have to break it up with a steel shovel before the bike can push it. I wont have to worry about removing it from the ground at the cabin. Its a fairly good cardio workout all the same,about like breaking beaver dams for a couple hours straight.
