Rooftop Avalanches Are Thoroughly Enjoyable

Doing any sort of outdoor work in the winter is a bitch. If not for the cold, I would probably decorate my house balcony Clark Griswold style every year. When I was a kid we lived in an "historic," aka old, house, and we would constantly have to get up on the roof to knock off all the ice. If not, the water would leak inside and cause all sorts of disasters. While it's fun to play around on the roof as a kid, it was still obnoxiously tedious work out there in the cold.

I jumped off that childhood roof quite a few times in the winter. Anytime there was a foot or so of snow, you could easily make the leap without much danger. I am sure my parents would have frowned upon it, but hey, they were the ones sending me up there in the first place. This guy gets the same ride as I did, only his was by accident. Who knew avalanches were such a concern in neighborhoods?
