Good job Roger,was there much damage to the roof or did the snow help absorb the impact?reg,your moving to canuckada?

rbtree · 2nd January 2009, 03:15 PM

almost no damage, it appeared....the snow helped fo sho..

now its hurting.......extreme avalanche danger in our mts, meant after driving 70 miles, the pass was closed, had to come home.....freezing rain on top of 6 feet of new snow is making for destructive natural avalanches.....it is cooling and becoming snow again, but i dunno if we'll be able to get up tomorrow or not....plus it could snow again in the lowlands--for the 7th time.....unheard of for these parts.

Sure wish I coulda skied yesterday, woulda been epic, but had to do bids and help fix the chipper---a knife came loose and messed things up a bit.

then real high freezing levels by midweek may come...and bring with it major flooding...

aarrggh

Some ski areas have received 150-180 inches of snow since Dec 12!!!

We're hoping to move to BC next fall....

but now we're also considering a place called Snohomish County, just north of Seattle, USA. I hear the work is easy and there's a real shortage of competent tree-men over that way
