Yea, my son and I went out at least 4 times during the storm to move snow. On one outing, we discovered the wind had loosened a roof vent. We have those spinning turbine type vents.

That meant a trip up on the roof during a blizzard. I grabbed a claw hammer just in case I slipped.

Today, we moved more snow, then we decided to build a Quinzee hut (snow cave) Our Trail Life USA troop is going to upstate NY in February to do snow cave camping.

All was going well till the top caved in on me. It was a bit scary but I could feel my kid shoveling me out. He kept hitting me with the shovel.

Lots of fun.
