“You do what you got to do to get through it and the kids are enjoying their extended Thanksgiving holiday, but snow doesn’t bother me too much cause I grew up here and I’m used to doing what you have to do to survive.”

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Todd Brainard, North Perry resident:
“So I’m using a roof rake. I’m raking off the snow because I feel like it’s too heavy on the roof. There’s got to be five or six feet of snow, and as it melts, it becomes heavier, and I just don’t want to take the chance of having the roof cave in on my kids or wife or anyone of us.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jeramy Johnson, Service Director North Perry Village:
“Snow is very common here. The snow belt here in this area usually averages about 100 inches of snow a year, if not more. But that’s a year. This single event is really pushing the limits of the equipment that we have.”

19. SOUNDBITE (English) Todd Brainard, North Perry resident:
“It would be nice if it lightened up a little bit so we can get some of the snow melted off. The roofs can get cleared off and people can get back to their normal daily routine. But really, if it doesn’t stop, there’s nothing we can do about it. We just got to ride it out and enjoy each day. That’s all we can do.”

STORYLINE:
Cleanup work is continuing around parts of the Great Lakes region socked by lake-effect snowstorms that dropped several feet of snow over the weekend.
Forecasters are warning that another storm system could add a few more inches and maybe even more later this week.
In the village of North Perry, Ohio, some 40 miles east of Cleveland, residents were removing feet of snow from their driveways and the roofs of their homes.
North Perry resident Todd Brainard stood in snow that almost reached above his knees so that he could scrape snow off his roof.
“You do what you got to do to get through it and the kids are enjoying their extended Thanksgiving holiday, but snow doesn’t bother me too much because I grew up here and I’m used to doing what you have to do to survive,” he said.
Snow totals since Thanksgiving in some places are nearing six feet.
