What is going on here? Sorry if it's obvious. I'm burnt out for the day.

I can't quite tell if that's a broom or a shovel. At this point, the snow was mostly melting. It would have eventually come off on it's own. If that huge bit of snow above him were to come sliding down the roof, he'd probably be dead though.

I thought it looked like a vacuum
Throw a snowball at it and he'll be done

Meanwhile 4th day at 45F in Hong Kong and I really do not want to live anymore.
No indoor heating and cold water (mainly a choice, don't want cracked skin and hands) I feel like I should buy an AK and start learning Russian.

Winter Storm warnings last week to tornado warnings today. Flooding everywhere. What a mess. It'll probably be a nasty hot and humid summer.

I was just about to post something very similar.

It's finally 60 degrees here today but we're bracing for severe thunderstorms. I'll take those all day over snowstorms though at this point.

We are currently getting freezing rain and thunder. Not something I really wanted, but hey, I live in the Midwest and nothing should really surprise me anymore.

Finally - We're in Melt Mode

I awoke today, bright and sunny, birds chirping, 58 degrees. My morning coffee never tasted so sweet.

For those hard hit by snow, don't despair, Spring is not too far away,

You probably should check the forecast for midweek before you get too much more giddy.

I know, I heard another storm this Tues For now I am enjoying a brief glimpse into Spring.

This has been one of the worst winters for NY in recent years. The salt shortage too is killing us.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Strange.

Still looks like Chernobyl here. Everything is dead. Or at least in hibernation.

Vic must have grabbed a couple of photos off the internet. Basically complaining about the snow in the first pic but unless I am mistaken it shows a snow gun making snow. Get his point though, winter has sucked this year and it is almost over! Happy Mardi Gras from New Orleans...
