Chuck Mowery shovels snow from the roof of his Farmer's Loop home Wednesday afternoon, April 30, 2008. "It caught me off guard," he said of the wet, snowy weather. Mowery had removed the old roofing material from his house in preparation to replace it, but hadn't covered the exposed area with anything to protect it from the snow.
