That's Enough Winter, Okay?
Dishes being swept out:
Me after the first round of sweeping:
Followed by getting the half-dozen sat dishes on the roof (fifteen-foot ladder climb!) and another round through the five at ground level a few hours later.
Sure, sometimes it's kinda pretty. Don't care. I'm over winter.
I have found that Silicone Spray can be your friend in a situation like this. Keeps the snow from sticking. A gentle tap in the edge can make the snow just fall off.
It would help -- in fact, there's a specific product for this -- but these are deep dishes; aimed at some birds, the snow would have to fall off uphill to clear the dish.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

YMMV

May not be a "dirty" job, but seems like a likely candidate for that TV show of the same name. My sympathies.
You look frazzled, albeit with pretty eyes!
Stay warm!

There's a joke about "Deep Dish Bird Something" in there, I know there is!
