The whole time we were shoveling the snow it was either snowing, hailing or sleeting and then raining. We actually ended up shoveling it twice because after the first time we went in the building to take a break, have some hot chocolate and granola bar, we went back up there to finish up the back side and found about an inch of slush, just like a snow cone, covering the whole roof. That definately would turn into ice so we shoveled it off as well. The back side that still had 7 inches of snow on it, now had a hard crust of sleet on it. A little more difficult to shovel off.
The only evidence there is that I was on the roof doing my share of the shoveling is the fact that the only way I could have gotten this shot is while I was on the roof. I also have the sore muscles and bones. Too bad we didn't have an innertube. That would have been great fun sliding off the roof onto the snow that we had shoveled off. Jumping off the roof into the snow was as much fun as we had.
During our break, Doug was anxious to go play with a big boy toy. If he could had gotten it on the roof, he would have. Sure would have gone a lot faster. But then none of us would have had the fine exercise we enjoyed. (Ha Ha!!!)Because of the water problem at the church, due to the ice and snow on the roof, we spent the day on the roof shoveling off the snow and sleet. Elder Georges and Shakespear gave up their P-day to help us. They ended up getting grounded from driving because of the weather, so we invited them over for dinner and games. We were all so sore and tired from the day shoveling. It is nice to know that the job is done and that we will be able to have church there on Sunday.
