The roof on this house is much steeper and higher. No chance of snow build-up like the other one.
I guess people are gun shy about the weather after Sandy.
Good on them.
What I’ve noticed in the weather forecasting department, is that the further out they are talking about a storm that’s forming, the worse they’re expecting it to be and the more certain they are of it.
THAT’S when to stock up, days before. At the worst, it doesn’t hit or is not as bad as they expected and you’re still OK cause you can use the stuff anyway. It’s hard to lose that way.
Course, living in NY all my life, I’m always prepared for winter. It’s foolish to not be and to not watch the weather.
I’m one of those Swamp Yankees who *loves* the snow ....the more there is, the happier I am. For the years I lived in NH, in the shadow of Mt Washington, I became much like the natives....who carry on like nothing extraordinary is happening. Life goes on, without skipping a beat. It was common to go to bed at night and wake up to 18-24” of new snow. Nothing closed down. Roads were well-plowed for travel; 4W drive a must.
I hope I have to use some of my *prepper* stuff b/c some of that stock is getting *elderly*.
Stay safe!
