A couple weekends ago, I pushed about sixteen inches of snow off the roof.  It makes pretty good pile under the eaves.  Abe likes because he can stand on it and look in the living room window...

If I'm sitting on the couch and feeling like teasing him, I'll stand up and wave my arm. When he starts to run around to the back door, I'll sit back down. After a few minutes, he'll be back up on the pile looking in and woof at me.
