Snow Still on Panels!

Well, we had a big snowstorm Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning. The snow slid off the main roof by midday Wednesday. Here's a picture of the front sidewalk after one of those avalanches:



And here's the main roof after that avalanche:



Unfortunately, three days later the garage roof has but a single exposed panel:

This Snow is Costing me Money!

I'd like to get the avalanche (and post-avalanche shoveling) over with so we can get back to making energy...

Wrecker!
