That sky was out of this world beautiful.

The only problem with seeing something like this is, it indicates failure of the eves-trough.

When this even STARTS to happen on our house, I remove the snow and ice.

The longer this is left, the more it will pull away the eves.

In my neighbourhood this winter, I'm noticing many more houses with serious icicles, some in places that I simply wouldn't be able to reach, nor have the bravery, or perhaps stupidity to climb to.

It makes me glad we got the design of house we did. One storey, without steeply pitched roof.

So far, I've only noticed one place of concern on our house...which I will fix with caulk or something this summer.

I also noticed there are a number of houses that have installed these heater wire things that keep the icicles from being able to form...it leaves zig zag marks on the roof...very effective, but, I suspect, also costly.
