Roof Day

Three days later my roof seems clean and safe now. It took a lot of time to get the snow masses off it (and quite a lot of begging on my side to get the men to come back on a free Saturday).

Of course I cannot be sure whether all that trouble was really necessary. Perhaps my roof timbering would have stood the strain by tons of old snow quite easily and beautifully, but noone could tell for sure and I have always been shy of risks.

I was in good company, though, for all around my area people seemed to have been infected by a little panic and all around here roofs were manned and snows were shoveled to the ground…

After all there had been a lot of (flat) roofs collapsing these last days all over Bavaria. Many public places were closed, as were schools on Friday! Unfortunately quite a few people got hurt while trying to save roofs, as well, from falling, at least one or two actually died.

I still love snow and the snowy season best of all times of the year, but as usual the dosis makes the potion.
