So far, so good
After chatting with neighbors on the phone and passing by with the old snow shovel (but we're running out of places to shovel it) I found out I'm okay comparatively.1- I haven't torn anything in my leg and thusly I'm not crippled like one poor soul.
2- My roof, so far is holding. The folks down the block suffered a partial roof collapse.
3- And the furnace still works. Last I spoke with another set of neighbor's whose heat went out. Hopefully they can get it back up and running again.
4- Luckily no one expects me to be at work as the Federal gov'mit is closed. Unfortunately, a good friend of mine who is a contractor, (lowly paid, not the big money type), can't work when we're closed and will have to find a way to eat the week of non-work he's not getting paid for.
I cleaned off the roof of my first floor kitchen and knocked off some of the ice icicles from the safety of a window. There is a big hunk of ice weighing down one section of the gutter that I couldn't reach safely. Sigh. I'll try to deal with that tomorrow. I've been checking some of the old cracks in the kitchen ceiling and so far no change. My next door neighbor is very worried about his roof and shoveled it. I'm just trusting that the equally spread out weight and some fixes after the gut job renovation helped.
Here's to praying for sun and above freezing temps.

Your old house contractor David Robertson has been an awesome help during the snow storm. He cleared the snow from my roof yesterday. I'm not sure that I ever thanked you for recommending him years ago.
