Blizzard after math - clear carport roof

 

The Torontonians have a massive blizzard snowstorm yesterday. We are still cleaning up after the city saw its most significant snowfall in years. During the last few days, heavy snow piled up on the carport roof, which is flat. From past experience, I need to go up and clear away the snow before it is too heavy. This is worse if the freezing rains and ice pellets come. 

Today the weather slightly improved with the temperature at 4C.  With the wind chill, it feels like -2C. Therefore, I determined to do some snow clearing. It is challenging as the snow-covered path to the backyard, and the shad are deep up the knees. You can imagine how difficult it is to pick the ladder and drag it out to the front in deep snow. It took a lot of effort.

The highways are still not recovered from the blizzard snow, which trapped trucks and cars waiting for the rescue team to relieve them. Some poor drivers were trapped there for over 24 hours. Hundreds of transit vehicles are still stranded in the snow.

Thank God it is done. I am happy with the result as it gives me peace of mind.
