Clearing the Roof, Ponca, Nebraska, February 1, 2002

There was a big drift of snow peering over the edge of the roof, and who could resist clearing it off? Dave took the shovel and gently tapped the underside, causing the bulk of the overhanging snow to come crashing down. This is a precursor to my girl jumping off a column photo from 2006. My favorite part is the dog preparing to dive away from the snow (he was out of the line of fire, fortunately).
