A Weight Too Great

Yesterday was a busy arduous day. With all the snow we have been having it was necessary to get out the snow rake and clean off the roof. It was warm, but raining which meant heavy, slushy wet snow. We (myself and a friend of mine) were also clearing out the "ice dam" from the gutters. This is when the gutters fill with ice. All of this landed on the driveway, which then needed to be cleared...again. The pile of heavy wet snow/ice proved to be a weight too great for the mighty snow blower, so to the shovels we went.
