I live in Australia, in a little town that sometimes gets a few centimetres of snow ( an inch or two) perhaps every few years. (And I go NUTS when it happens!! : ) Tomorrow night we will be on snow watch!! It may fall but most likely wont lay. I still get excited about it though! I love your videos, because in spite of the most incredible scene around you, it seems like it's no big deal, another job you need to do to preserve your lovely home. I watched in AWE! (Loved the first video too!) Thank you from a snow town wannabe!

@@mawile2468 now I have thought of moving to California a few times but unlike california we don't have wild fires or serious earthquakes here. At least I know during a snow storm my house has a better chance of still standing in the morning unlike having a earthquake destroying it. That's not to say people don't lose their homes to snow storms or have roofs collapse because it does happen . But I rather go through a blizzard and know we will probably be fine than have my home destroyed by a earthquake or a wild fire. Anybody's home can burn down at anytime anywhere in this world. Wild fires are a bigger cause than someone. Setting a blaze on purpose or accident . So yes california is better in many ways but they also have just as many natural disaster problems if not more. Because let's not forget california is slowly being swallowed by the ocean.

If the "Melting Time Table" I've worked out (one year per foot of snow) is accurate, they'll be up there for quite a while yet. And Yeti will be making a few more beer runs.

He is doing it the hard way. Several You Tube programs show tools for getting the snow off from the ground. They have a U shaped frame with a plastic cloth that you shove under the snow. The frame has a long extension pole attached to it. The snow slides down the plastic cloth in large blocks. Much easier.

We cannot count how many times someone has suggested it (usually someone who sells the tool) and its just as stupid each time we hear it. We are not talking about some light, fluffy, fairy snowflakes here. We are talking about FEET of WET, HEAVY snow that has compacted down under its own weight. So, before you recommend something you know nothing about, and tell someone who has lived it how you know how to do it better, realize that maybe you don't have a clue. Because you don't.

@@ThatsTheWayWeRoll I have a slightly different way of clearing my roof, mostly because it's a long straight expanse, but I do start with a regular roof rake, take off the top layers closest to the edge (leaving a few inches for boot traction) while still on the ground, then climb onto the roof and toss the snow from the ridgeline down to the part I've already scraped--so that I can then get down on the ground again and scrape that off with the rake. I've never had 6 feet though! Just 3-4 tops! Don't know why I'm here, except I just saw "snow showers" in the forecast... Anyway, I enjoyed seeing how someone else tackles this job!

If you recognized that wonderful sound in this little bit of video, then I KNOW you know what I mean! Only very happy, self-confident men can whistle like that.

(This is the honest to God truth: there have been times when the WNY municipalities have actually had to do that! The snow was scooped up, put into dump trucks, and driven away - to some unknown, mysterious locations. Or, dumped into RR cars to be carried off to other parts of the country.)

@ThatsTheWayWeRoll
@ThatsTheWayWeRoll 6 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the attitude compliment. It is appreciated! There actually ARE very tough codes on the books. For example: A few decades ago, there were numerous problems concerning roofs that collapsed under the weight of the snow. So, new laws WERE passed. You can no longer have more than, I think, 3 layers before you have to do a "total tear off, before you can add any more roofing. But the roof itself was NEVER our concern. HERE WAS THE REAL ISSUE: The main structure of this home is 111 years old. And we never gave one thought, or worry, to the main structure, whatsoever! The room we are talking about was added somewhere in the 1970's, which was long before we purchased the home. And, therefore, we had no idea what the codes were at that particular time. We weren't here when that addition was added. Our concern was how that one story addition was tied into the main structure!!! Which was very questionable! Was it done correctly? Or not? If it wasn't correctly tied into the main structure of the house...we could have had a really BIG problem.( Like our neighbors did.) So, we had to remove as much weight as possible to alleviate the strain, hoping that room would not pull away (like theirs did).

Wanted to jog his memory about snow (I don't like hot, humid weather, so I visit him on Facetime every Sat. Nite. He forwarded the Vlog to an English friend who married and settled there, and wouldn't be surprised if he passed it to some Vets at the VFW in Bangkok.

Love the way that you passed the snow video along!! That's fantastic. Our son and family have lived in California for 15+ years and are finally going to move back to NY. We promised that the first thing we would buy them would be....a snow blower! Last week, he asked us about the weather forecast. We actually couldn't answer him because, unless they say something like "2 FEET of snow by morning", we don't pay any attention. During this past week alone, we went from snow on the ground, to 2 days of higher temps and rain - which melted that snow, followed by falling temperatures which, of course, produced ice and then that was capped off by about a foot of new snow. Unless there is a major forecast, we don't even pay attention to it all. But, forewarned or not, the weather here in Western New York can always bring surprises. Thanks for sharing our video with your son and his friends! We enjoyed hearing that.

ThatsTheWayWeRoll Hi again, I lived in CA. I've lived in a lot of states and countries. I was married to a 20 year A.Force man from Boston who, after retiring, took a job with a civilian contractor that bid on feeding servicemen in dining halls. We got the exact same weather as you did but two days ahead of you, as it all came in on that Canadian clipper blowing West to East. After everything melted and was clear and cleaned up we are getting snow again...and another warm up and rain forecast for the weekend. I like those January thaws and rain!!! We get lake effect snow, like you, but usually not nearly as much as you do, in N.Y. So, here's to the weekend thaws.....long may they melt! Bet you'll be happy to see your son move back. I still have one son that's about a mile away and a daughter that's 2 miles away. One grandson here and his brother in N.Y.C and a grand daughter in San Antonio. All are grown.

When things thaw and it rains many people get flooding. I feel sorry for them because it can be bitter cold with ice water running through their houses.

Reminds me of when I visited a friend on Long Island and a blizzard occurred, and we went out through the attic to jump off the roof into the deep snow. I unknowingly crawled out onto a snow/ice overhang which broke and dumped me onto a lower roof, from which we then jumped. I didn't do it right and landed on my feet, which went through the snow to the ground, and it hurt. I tried it again, at his urging, and did it the same way - which he did too. That ended that escapade.

Apparently you don't live where they sell and use snow shovels. That's how they are. Plastic blades with a strip of metal across the edge of the front. The curved-blade rectangle style he's using is a very popular style, but some people prefer the ones with the square, flat blade. The blades are made of heavy plastic to keep the weight down. In above-freezing temperatures, wet snow can be very, very heavy, so saving weight is important (every winter we hear stories on the local news of older people dying of heart attacks while shoveling snow).

We certainly don't get that much snow on a regular basis. We get snow on and off throughout every winter, but snow of that magnitude only happens every few years. But, when it does, it does! As a matter of fact, a month after that storm, we had NO snow - just green grass for Christmas. (Mother Nature has a sense of humor.) Just the other day, I asked my husband what the snow forecast was. He said, "2-4". I said, "2-4 feet?" "No. 2-4 inches." "Oh. Ok." And we laughed. You become conditioned to it.

How about something with a long handle and a 'blade' feature at the front. If you put it up against the exterior of the house you could pull it back toward the edge of the roof.

In reality, no. First, there is fresh snow. Then, more snow is added on top. Between the heat of the room below combined with the fresh fallen snow, the underlying layer begins to be compacted. You have a repeated pattern of compacted snow and fresh, light snow. There are layers of snow that crush down and compact the snow underneath. Then, more new snow is added on top. The pattern repeats. And some of the layers of snow become heavier and denser. Before you know it, you are looking at 7 feet of light/heavy, light/heavy layers. And a tremendous amount of weight on your roof!There are all kinds of companies who manufacturer "snow roof rakes". I'm sure they would help to clear your roof if you only have a few inches of fresh, newly fallen snow. In the way ours occurred, they'd be totally useless. If we could invent a miracle product that would be able to remove all the snow under these particular conditions, we'd both become millionaires! In the meantime, the best product to use in this situation is still the good, plain old-fashioned snow shovel!

Good questions. Everybody has a snow blower. If you know a big storm is on its way, you can't wait for it to end to start clearing it. You have to try to keep at it and plow over and over again while it's still snowing. Everyone owns heavy duty winter gear (parkas, etc.) As for being stuck home, you have to be prepared: plenty of food and basic necessities (meaning DON'T forget the toilet paper while stocking up!!!) The key is to be prepared, as much as you possibly can. As for damage to the house: not normally. We had to do the roof that you see in the video because it was an "add-on" room. Since it was put there by a previous owner, we weren't sure if it was done properly (how well it was tied-in to the main structure) and couldn't risk the room pulling away. (Our neighbors were stranded out of town. While they were gone, they had a room pull away by the weight of the snow.) Just out of curiosity, what part of the world do you live in?

The roof that had to be shoveled is a shed-type roof. We did not put this room addition on. It was here when we purchased the house.

Since we didn't know, we could not take the chance of the room separating from the main structure because of the weight. (Which happened to many people.)

I know the work involved of shoveling a roof but not with that much. Gees! Hope there wasn't flooding at the surface from all that. Awesome video, thanks for doing this. I love how you didn't talk too much. Said some interesting things. Whistled. And showed the awesome sky. What camera did you use for this? Looks very crisp.

How about we change that to "we hope it's the last for this year"? Lake Erie isn't even frozen over yet and as long as there is open water we have the risk of more lake effect snow. Western New York = not for the faint of heart! This morning it's a balmy 11 degrees. Sure hope it's warmer where you are!

drummer261 Spoke too soon! 2 to 3 FEET of new snow predicted for tomorrow! Thruway shutting down in advance. Wind gusts will be 40. Chill factor well below zero. Sigh. Deja vu. But, after getting 6 feet, 2-3 feet is nothing. So, stay tuned! If there's any good action, we'll film it!

Waving to you right now, neighbor! What did you think of that Bills game Sunday? Holy smokes! A game that will forever be remembered. It was actually very funny. The rest of the world must think we're nuts. Living here is not for the faint of heart, that's for sure. But we wouldn't trade it. Thumbs up, buddy!

ThatsTheWayWeRoll It was a real game. I hope to see more like that. Just keep the snow in OP. I actually work not to far from the Stadium .
@ThatsTheWayWeRoll
@ThatsTheWayWeRoll 6 жыл бұрын
Yeah, we agree, keep it in OP. Because we aren't in OP. We are in the Village of Hamburg. But, during that game we were looking out our windows and seeing the exact same thing through the blinding snow that everyone else at the stadium was seeing = nothing!! We couldn't even see across the street. So, you can't be working too far away.

Yes, it can be very beautiful. And peaceful. And quiet....like everything was soundproofed. Serene. But then, the cleanup must begin. And we've had no real weather let-up. Past few weeks we've been at zero with as low as about -20. Day after day! Brrr! It can be very beautiful though.

For Older Folks that cannot climb up on their Roofs to do this kind of work because it will cause a Heart Attack this must be a very Scary Situation indeed. I would guess that there is literally no one that they would be able to call to get their Roofs cleaned off.

Around here, the weather changes so fast it's like someone flipped a switch! Not unheard of for it to be a cold, damp, rainy spring day and the next day you'll be sweating. Or, the temperature will plummet 20 degrees overnight. When we had this snow storm in November, we had green grass and no snow for Christmas. The weather here is never dull, that's for sure. We love our four seasons though. (Hope you get tons and tons of snow! And soon. You must be a skier or snowboarder.)
