Snow Not Finished Yet

kevin_standleeIt got just barely cold enough last night for the rain to turn into a little bit of snow.
There was less than 1 cm of snow on the porch this morning.
Yesterday's clouds moved away to reveal new snow on the mountains west and north of Fernley.
Unfortunately, the new gutter on the upper roof has proven to have not been correctly sealed, and when the rain and snow came, so did a leak from where the two pieces of gutter are jointed.
Yesterday afternoon, Lisa and I went to Lowe's price what a ladder long enough to reach the upper roof would cost. It's not cheap. Lisa will also need to dig out the safety harness and the rope we used on the house in Mehama, and will need to figure a way to get a line over the roof so that we can tie it to a tree on the opposite side of the house. Only then will Lisa feel secure in going up there and fixing the join and probably making other corrections to that gutter.
