Helping along

I wanted to clear the snow from my veranda for several reasons. The weather has changed into being more mild so the snow, that earlier was light and fluffy has now turned into a compact and heavy stage as the snow crystals change with temperature. Also, I want to have a useable veranda when the warmth of the sun makes it possible to sit outside. Last year that happened on 23 of January so we're a bit behind this year. The third reason being that I have a couple of flatish roofs that has gathered a lot of  snow and now risk collapsing under the weight of the snow.
