    I wish I could justify having a sled. You all be safe.

    It's out of our control just have to ride it out and hope for the best.. Have you tried filling a sock or nylon with the calcium chloride pellets and tossing on the roof? Worth a try I think it could help..

    For you folks in a pinch for Calcium Chloride check out a pool/spa store, they may only be open 1 day a week up your way this time of year but they should carry it.

    Here is a pic from work looking out from a mechanical room to a generator. My snow removal guys keep this open for access to the gen. The bottom of the soffit is around 7 feet off the ground. To my right it drifts up over to the roof of this room. The snow on the roof is a few feet high. This area was just about completely drifted in except for the rat tunnels to get around. It is freakish walking around drifts over your head.

    I worked at a swimming pool shop in college and bought some bags. Not only did it melt the snow on a terribly steep dirt road on a switchback, it was great for dust control on the road after melting.

    Today's storm blew out to sea, but now they are increasing confidence for a foot on Sat-Sun. And a possible icy mix Tuesday.

    I have some things to take care of today but then tomorrow I call out of work and operation snow removal goes into full effect. Gotta get all the roof lines raked and all the drifts moved away.

    18" - 24" predicted for Sat - Sun. I sure hope they are wrong. It is getting pretty routine at this point.

    Not at the road. It has become snow management. I now throw everything out to the back of the house instead of the front bushes.
