We didn't get a s much snow here in Maine as expected, only about 6 more inches with a top glazing of ice. Unfortunately, the combination of weather this year has conspired to create massive ice dams in the gutters, and we now have water trickling down the walls and ceilings in several areas. Today we went up on the roof and showeled channels in the valleys, two feet of snow off the perimeter of the roof, and sprinkled "snow melt" pellets all around. The gutter are frozen solid and there doesn't seem to be any way to clear them unless we get more sun. I am tired!
