Snow and Camp

Here are 4 pictures of the snow that was at camp yesterday. We got about 18" at the lake compared to a foot in town. But the wind was horrible..poor DH was using a roof rake to get the snow off the roof. He went back up today to get the rest of it off. The snow blower died, so the deck will not be shoveled off. With the snow, ice and rain coming later tonight and tomorrow, it will be too heavy on the roof, but the deck was built to withstand way more weight then the roof. We have seen reports on TV where people are losing a lot of their out buildings because of the heavy snow pack on them. There was one man in the southern part of the state that made the news on TV because he was raking his metal roof off while standing on the ground and the snow let go. He was buried with his head in the deep snow and his feet upwards. No one could see him, so he was there trying to get out. He said he had his cell phone in his pocket and was able to get it out of his pocket. It fell into his hand and he dialed 911 and the fire department came and dug him out. He tried to holler for help, but no one could hear him. He is one lucky man! DH rakes our roofs after every storm to prevent any heavy build up of snow. We do not need to lose our house to neglect.
