Cleaning snow off roof

We have warmed up finally from our recent cold February.  It was above freezing today and is forecast to be in the 40s the next week.  Much moisture is predicted.  This time rain.  

Yesterday afternoon I used the tractor to clean again the snow out of the corral and back of the yard.

After I had cleared the snow off much of the house roofs three weeks ago, it snowed again over and over.   With rain now predicted before the snow can melt I want to get the new snow off the house roofs again.  I don't want to chance rain on snow making it too heavy for the roofs.   But I didn't want to get up on the house roof again.  I have mostly rerecovered from the last fall and I don't want to go through that again. 

I got out my snow rake.  This afternoon I raked off much of the snow from the house roofs.  I stood on the ladder.  I also made sure the ladder was standing upright as much as possible.  Therefore I had to be careful not to lean back much when standing.

The house looks much better now.
