Once both sides were shoveled off, I used the tractor and the blower to move the snow away from the barn. The snow on the top roof generally slides off once the snow/ice melts off the bottom roof. Thankfully the snow wasn't heavy and it came off fairly easy. We then shoveled the chicken house, wood shed, Mom's porch, the camper, sheep feeders, rabbit hutches, the backporch and hubby roof raked the garage. Thankfully it was about 25 degrees and the perfect temp to work outside. After our chores were finished, hubby invited me to take a walk with the snowshoes. Gosh, I can't remember the last time I was on them. It was Great! Below are some photos from our trip. We walked down the south pasture, along the east pasture, back up the north side to the house. 
Bear and Simple Boy wondering what we were doing ........
Looking back toward the farm from the south/east pasture...
Even the snow can't get rid of them.......
Pitching over the rise, heading east............
Potential new pasture...............
We didn't hang out here long ........this section of fence is on the spring "to do" list. Didn't want to think about work :) 
We saw many different sets of tracks - this one near the edge of the woods
Looking east.........
Another view looking back at the farm from the east tree line......
A great afternoon trek in the snow......hope you enjoyed it :)

candy,
thank you :)
They are saying the storm we were worried about is going out to sea. I am so glad! Hope it doesn't hit you too hard.
kara,
Thanks - it was fun :)
joanna,
The snow can really be a lot of fun. It all depends on whether or not you like winter. It must be so hard for people to live a in an area that they absolutely despise like the northeast in the winter when they really hate the snow and cold. Thankfully, I'm a born and bred New Englander. Good thing I like winter!
Far side of fifty,
Glad you enjoyed it :)
threecollie,
Thank you :) The rain they predicted was changed yesterday to snow. Today they are saying it's going out to sea. I'm a happy camper! We are glad shoveled the roofs though - now we don't have to worry about it again.
egghead,
Your welcome :)
nancy k,
It was very romantic actually. Our lives and our house are always busy. Time for just the two of us is scarce to say the least. The walk was wonderful and so was the quality one on one time.
cathy m,
Thank you - you are so right, I do live a wonderful life !
Thanks so much for visiting ...hope you stop by again.
linda,
So glad you enjoyed our snowshoe trip - the snow looks overwhelming but it really is beautiful and everything smells so fresh!
No matter what others say, I think it is still interesting and useful maybe necessary to improve some minor things
