Glazed over here this morning and still coming down a bit while now just above freezing - road surfaces are probably still below freezing. Saw on the news a 25 car mess on the DC beltway just off from where I get on/off that road. I know MD pre-treated the roads, but did VA forget to......

Guess I might not be getting out to today's errands........

Well, I got lucky with this one. I was just too lazy to take down this canopy off its frame from our deck, so it got left up for this storm. Last night, upon hearing the news of the 3 - 6" expected depth, as well as the snow-to-rain mixture, I was worried about the canopy collapsing and considered going out onto the deck to take the whole shebang down. However, I chickened out.

Later, I got up at 3:00am-ish and saw , from a window above it, that, indeed, a good amount of snow had accumulated atop the canopy. So, I went back to bed, hoping for the best.

This morning, at around 10am, the snow had gotten pretty high on the canopy, so I decided it was time to take action (big deal.) For some unknown reason, after hearing the weather-man say that icy rain was now falling, I thought it might help me with the snow removal from the canopy. Though I had never tried or thought of such a procedure previously, I decided to gently push outwards from the inside of the canopy with the back of my plastic snow-shovel. It worked!!!!!! A significant portion of snow totally slid off half one of the quarter-panels and fell to the deck floor. A push on the underside of the next panel produced the same results, so around the whole canopy I went, repeating some areas twice. Voila! Total snow removal and no collapsed canopy. Happy me!

P.S. I'd like to try to get away with not removing the canopy for the whole winter. It's a gamble, but trying to remount that canopy atop its frame is a hard job for me. In fact, I didn't even remount it the last time it went up. A friend/neighbor did it for me.

You might want to take it down if there's a forecast for herring.......it's overdue, don't you know.

Last report was in the 15th century and a repeat is long overdue!!!

When it rains herring again, they weigh a goodly amount and your canopy will collapse - would not want to happen!

Herring...wasn't Joan of Arc involved in that?!?!?! I just got done reading "Assassins Creed, Heresy" and recall them mentioning it raining Herring.

As I recall now it was in Burgundy in the 12th century and we ran out of sour cream later that week.......

Raining fish is so rare that it gets recorded for prosterity in whatever media is available at the time.

It is often associated with tornado over water (water spout) but not always.

The voice-of-reason to the rescue, once again. Very nice.

The earliest fish fall on record was in 1666 where small finger-length fish fell in Cranstead, England. Another case of a herring fall was in 1821 in Argyllshire, Scotland.

Several books written about this type of occurrence by ???, oh my I just forgot the authors name.
He also wrote about a planet hidden behind the moon where we can't see from Earth. The true
believers say those that have been in space and to the moon lie.
