Meanwhile, we are half buried in the stuff in Orillia. I got a ladder today and crawled up on top of the big canvas and wood frame quonset hut at the back of the property. Was worried it might collapse under all that snow. Spent about an hour pushing snow off from the top, then discovered that I could slide right down the side, bringing a ton of snow with me to the ground! Kind of fun, but I would have liked it better when I was a kid. I finally got about 95% of the snow off, and had a hot bath afterward.
