Snow showers early, with a steadier snow developing late in the day. High 28F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 90%. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected.
Evening: A wintry mix, especially in the overnight hours. Some icing possible. Low 22F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.
From the picture below which was taken from my top floor den window under the green tarp is our 10'x14' porch, that had 3' of snow on it. Why it was tarped was the rook is actually starting to rot through in places and I was planning to replace it this spring..
In the middle back ground you will see my neighbors blue tarp covered shed roof which is also in need of replacing in the spring. Her house behind that I had to get a roof rake to use which for being the first time using one of those was impressed at how well it works.
My roof is a little different for a cape it has quite the pitch to it so climbing on top of it to shovel snow is a death wish and I can't get high enough safely to reach it with a snow rake so we are just going to have to count on the wind that come off the lake to blow a lot of it off. The only real thing I am worried about is the ice build up on the gutter because I can not even get up there to chip or hammer it down.
You know I do have to say that even though I complain about the weather I do really love to live in New England. The way the weather changes from season to season is really kinda like a slide show of mother nature.

Wow what a winter you have had!
As I've mentioned to several others, this is the worst winter we've had in Kentucky in quite some time. We haven't had more than 4-5" at a time, but winter started early this year and we've had frequent storms (freezing rain, sleet, or snow). Some very cold temp's, too.
I just hope it's outta here before it can affect turkey season.
Hey Rick, I have never heard of a roof rake for snow. I asked Dan, he had heard of it. Guess we just don't have to have one as our roof is very steep. I guess we do learn something new every day! Thanks!
Tipper, yup. I even had my wife heidi take the welcome winter sign of the front door to see if that would help.
heyBJK, spoken like a true hunter.
Karen, ya it sounds funny but believe it or not it actually works.
