The shelter roof collapsed yesterday. Last night it was the turn of the greenhouse! The snow from the barn and the side slid off and ONTO the greenhouse. It could not hold it. It collapsed!
In retrospect, it was not a good location for the greenhouse. However, saying that, maybe the past never got the snow storms we are having now? This is our fourth winter here in Grand Forks, and this is the first year we have seen snow staying on the rooves for so long. The snow got to a depth of over 16 inches on the rooves, and as it got wetter with the raise in the temperature, it got heavier.

Wow! What a lot of snow we have had these last four weeks! I think we have had at least the amount we normally have all through the winter. This year not only are we having a lt of snow, but the snow we are having is NOT going away. Usually the snow that falls on our rooves fall off after a day or so.
This year the snow is STILL on the rooves. Some of it has melted a little, and formed icicles on its way down. BUT it has NOT fallen off the roof with a WHOOOOMP! That is still to happen!
I heard the news tonight about the road conditions. Avalanches are a problem in many areas.
Indeed the Hope-Princeton Hwy (Hwy 3)is closed near the Manning Park area, both lanes (both ways);
the area East of Christina Lake is closed bot h ways (Hwy 3) , (the Paulson Summit area), and the Coquihala is closed too. Also an area near Hope on Hwy 1.
To the south of Grand Forks, in the USA there is a Flood warning for Coleville.
So, if anyone wants to go far from Grand Forks, it is going to be very difficult tonight and maybe for the next few days!!
