Holy avalanche

Snow finally slid off the roof of one of the garages.

Better than caving in from the weight.

That was my worry. It's been raining today and stuff was getting heavy. I opened the attic and turned the heat on full blast to get some melt going on and it took about 3 hours and finally let go.

Kinda gives you a new perspective of the ridiculous amount of power an avalanche coming down the side of a mountain can have, doesn't it?

Even just that snow sliding off the roof had to weigh hundreds of pounds.

Ahhhh snow. Oh how much I do not miss you!

A few weeks ago a guy up here went outside and disappeared. Wife looked for him all over town, police were called in etc. 3 day later they found him just outside the house. He was using a roof rake and the snow fell on him and buried him. Killed him there.
