I know that all too well


Back about '79 ( I was 19 ) I just got done dressing up for a date, walked out of the house and the snow let loose from the slate roof on the farm house ( 3rd story was a full height attic )

Almost brought me to my knees. Recombed my hair and had the defroster on HIGH on my over to pick up my girl

Where's the video of the guy clearing the snow off his roof? I can't remember who posted it or what the thread title was, it wasn't long ago.

This was my cousin this mornining 5 minutes before the snow slid off his roof, knocking the ladder from under him, he didnt get hurt, but I hear his wife was standing right there, and got a good laugh

that's it? just some snow? you need a 6' icicle with a razor sharp edge on it and stand under it holding a heat gun up towards it to see if you can dodge it when it falls.. that right there is some good winter fun you ask your friend to hold your beer and watch this..

Default The snow knows. It lies in wait.

Turns out, it's not much safer than Russian Roulette after all:

Falling ice at Super Bowl stadium hospitalizes 5
Seven people were hurt, including one in critical condition, when ice fell off the side of Cowboys Stadium outside Dallas, officials said.
