Word of Caution. falling Ice.
 
I was just out shoveling the roof at work and got hit by some falling icicles. Cut my cheek just near my eye.....:eek::( Glad I had my sunglasses on.

Watch yourselves.......:D

Glad you're ok!

Silly question... if you were shoveling the roof, how did something fall down on you? Or were you raking the roof?

I did some raking earlier and was knocking down some giant icicles - the Argelets thought it was "cool" and wanted to come out and watch...nnoooooo! :eek:

Thanks...Three story building. I was shoveling off a lower roof and stuff came down from above. Lots of little ice chunks still coming out of the trees today too. I got hit on the head a few times and one chunk went down the back of my shirt and down into my....well you know where it went....Brrrr......:eek::D

How's Your Cheek?...
 
Must have been a close one... But, your okay and that's what counts.

Remembering younger days, my Dad was Plant manager when we lived up in Northfield VT. back in the late fifties. They designed and built shipping crates for the Government, along with cedar fencing and other wood products. They even delivered cedar fencing to Superior Fence Company in Tilton NH at the time, down there on Rte 3.

One winter there, some ice slid off the roof of the main building and totally flattened a lean to offspring of such that housed air compressors.
One of the pieces of ice was gestimated to weigh 3 tons.

I have kept some of those images of what can happen under my hardhat whenever near buildings or houses of any kind ever since, winter or no.

Lakesrider will ride some more, and so will I...

Terry
