Doesn't look good with regard to ice jams in the gutters. Now that snow is beginning to melt the gutters are frozen solid and melt water in getting into the walls and even dripping through some of the ceilings. I was able to shovel off the lower roofs today but I'll have to wait till Sunday to try to shovel off the main house. We're expecting another six inches of snow late Saturday.

On the bright side, an old friend and I brought lunch to mother down on the farm, an amazing Greek style gourmet pizza, and while we were there I took some photos of the sculpturing the snow has done on some of the out buildings. It's a pretty amazing art form. Snow doesn't just pile up. It forms drifts, and cones, and rounds everything off in a graceful way.
