Which comes first the roof or the snow?

These last three days have been the nicest days we've seen since Labor Day. And boy, did we do our best to take advantage of the clear weather. Notice near the entryway that there are decorative support beams made from spruce poles. I'd like to say it was because we attempted to add a bit of class to the shabin, but really we were just being cheap about not wanting to buy to more conventional lumber than necessary.

The big question is whether or not the roof will be on before the first snow hits the ground. Our initial goal was to have the foundation in before snowfall, so by all accounts we are way ahead of schedule. Snowmachine season doesn't start until at least November, when the swamps freeze up. Even if there are a few inches of rain, we have a little bit of time.
