Snowmageddon Pt 2: The Downing of an Awning
We have a metal awning over our side porch. Or rather, we used to have an awning there. There was so much ice and snow on it that it was sagging dangerously. So I tried to knock the icicles off of it with a broom handle. Instead, the whole thing came down on top of me. There is one rusted screw (of the original 4) still holding the thing onto the side of the house, but otherwise it's upside down and blocking the porch. And we won't get into poor CJ, who was exploring the yard at the time and is now terrified to come back in the door. I'm bruised and my back and hands are killing me. Just terrific.
