As snowstorm after snowstorm marches through our area, features of the landscape have disappeared, almost every corner in town is a blind intersection due to the piles of snow, a large number of parking spots in town are completely gone due to snow piles, and folks are getting grumpy here.
Here are photos of the Tuesday snow storm, with snowfall of 18 – 22 inches which came on top of the previous Friday’s snow storm with also 18 inches of snow. Forty inches in less than a week has caused many problems.
And now we’ve had freezing rain on top of all this snow. Everywhere you turn folks are having problems with water inside their house from the ice dams on their roofs. We have heat cables at the bottom edge of our roof, so that’s not our problem. However, we did have huge icicles hanging off the edge of the roof. Apparently one of the bigger ones fell over the weekend directly on the decorative light at our front door totally bending the frame of the light and knocking all the bevels loose. One of the big rectangular bevels is totally missing. Hubby thinks he may have swept it away with the broken pieces of icicle at the front door. Guess we’ll find that in spring when all the snow melts.
