I'm not sure I would like the working conditions with the snow and being on that scaffolding, got to admire those that like to do that sort of work. Seems a bit early in the season for snow, but I guess it is November.

I think I still have a pile of slate left over from my Mom's house which was re-roofed (not slate) nearly 50 years ago. There are still old buildings with slate roofs in the area, but not very many.
