Massive snow storm

Library roof in snow

Snow the past 36 hours have stopped the country in its tracks. It went down to -1 degree last night. We never had so much snow in the past 10 years and definitely not before Christmas. Now news tell us that right now the storm is picking up and it will be 3 times bigger than yesterday. Temperature dropping to -4 degrees.

I spend 2 hours yesterday and 3 hours today shovelling snow from our roof. Back-breaking work. I was wet through. 3 pairs of shoes wet. 2 hoodies and 2 pairs of jeans. Had to do it because water was dripping into my office. The weight of the snow is too much for our roof. Tonight's storm is expected to last through tomorrow. Snow shovelling will be worse. Am not looking forward to it.
