Yeah, but what fell off was last year's snow. You have to deal with this year's snow too. Oh wait, are you talking about the snow falling off the roof or..... nevermind.
Hopefully you got enough snow off the roof before you fell off of it yourself that you had a nice, big pile of snow to land in?
My brother has in- laws in northern VT and about every third year they send a photo of their back yard deck, which the kids can walk onto by walking on the snow. During summer, it is a 20' + drop to the ground from that deck.
Most of that snow is snow that fell off the roof and what they pushed off the deck. They measure their snowfall, both all year and by the specific storm, in feet rather than inches. Then again, that is why they call it 'the snow belt'. :-) Your story made me think of them 'cause I cannot think of a better roof to fall off of in the winter. In fact, it would not be a fall really, just the beginning of a great slide down the hill....

I don't climb roofs anymore to remove snow. Falling off once, is enough.
