Avalanche!
A whole load of snow has just fallen off my roof. It's a slate roof and
strong, so OK. The cast iron gutters have coped as well, plastic ones might
have broken I think. It was right outside my back door so lucky I wasn't
going out. Huge roar inside the house and I now have a big pile of snow to
clear. There is still some more to come down on the roof. Roof is quite high
pitched with slate fastened to wooden boards as I suspect the Edwardian
builders were aware of the possibility of heavy snowfalls and built the roof
accordingly.
