Snow, Snow and More Snow
February 16, 2004

The excitement began in December 2003, with day after day of heavy snow. We ended up with so much snow that on February 16, Dennis noticed that the huge beam supporting our garage roof had cracked. It took the better part of a day to shovel the snow off the flat roof. When we were done, Dennis' grandkids could sled right off the top of the roof down to the driveway! What fun!

There was so much snow that the flat roofs on our condominium rentals began to leak. Our renters held on through the rest of the winter, and the condo association paid big bucks to replace the roofs. The contractor (as contractors sometimes do) dragged his feet for most of the sunny summer and didn't get the job finished. He finally started on the roof of one of our units November 28, the very day the ceiling caved in, and just in time for a day of heavy rain followed by 12" of snow!
