Snow and Icicles

Our shed doesn't have much of a watertight roof yet and there's some pretty impressive icicles forming just in front of the door (through one of the holes in the roof). I've come close to impaling myself several times already today! I'm going to leave them to see how long they get...

Meanwhile, the snow on our roof is getting quite high, at least where it's slipped of the dormers - luckily the roofers are coming later this week to add snow stickers (technical term) to the roof. I cleaned this off with a big brush - it makes quite a whump when a huge snowball rolls off the roof and lands 10 meters below.

Winter has arrived!

Winter has finally arrived and we have a nice dusting of snow in the garden and some pretty cool stalactites on the dormers! Hopefully more snow will come later this weekend and we'll be able to make a snowman.

Our cool roofing company (Ferblanterie Gessienne) have just called to say they'd had a look on our roof and would like to add snow stoppers (the technical term) on the dormers to stop the snow slipping off and making a pile on the tiles in front of the window. How good is that!
