Avalanche!

It warmed up, yay! But watch out… because the snow is sliding off of our tile roof in BIG (dangerous!) sheets!

No snow on that part of the roof because it’s all here:

We can hear it inside the house when the snow starts to slide off the roof. We race off to watch it fall and go everywhere. Data is not a fan of it. This afternoon a huge sheet came off by where he was sleeping and he was freaked out!

This seems really dangerous for someone walking by. Luckily, no one is. Otherwise we’d have to put up signs like they do in the city:

I seriously saw a gigantor piece of ice fly off of a high rise in Chicago and land on the roof of a car that was driving down the street a few years ago. Those signs are serious!

Owning this home continues to be full of surprises! I wonder what is next?!

    Wow! That is freaky! did that snow on your patio bury the cats’ shelters?

    Someone died in Brussels a few years ago when tiles on the facade of a building suddenly fell off. I can imagine sheets of ice sliding off a skyscraper must be really dangerous.

    On a more cheerful note, hope you have a very happy Christmas Eve tonight!

      I didn’t! Their house is on the patio on the other side!

      That’s horrible! Who ever knew it would be such a danger 🙁

      Thanks! Happy you had a good holiday!

    Aha, I love the image of you and Steven rushing to watch the falling ice. That sounds exactly like something I would do too, of course! It always would make me nervous seeing moving cars with a large amount of snow on the roof, just waiting to slide off on the road.

      Oh yeah, and that is SUPER dangerous (the cars). That is a pet peeve of mine – take the time to remove it (if you can) people!
