The view from here is now white. The storm everyone was talking about hit this morning and blew from the east pretty steadily all day. A few drifts were too deep for the car to get through, but the snow was light enough to shovel easily where necessary.
However, when I went to the barn to pull out the snow shovels, I was a bit taken aback at the amount of snow inside. The steady east wind had lifted the metal roofing up and let the snow blow in onto the roof trusses and floor below. A steady sprinkle of snow in the middle of the room revealed another problem: a part of the ridge cap had been loosened as well.
Just as well it happened now I guess… It will probably warm up enough in the next few days to allow me to get up on the roof and put in roofing screws. Over the years, most of the nails have loosened and popped up, so I’ve been replacing them with screws. The pitch is low, so it isn’t a dangerous or complicated task; just yet another thing to do!

Be careful up there. Too many people have fallen and it has changed or ended their lives.
