Unusual pic of snow on roof
1 Attachment(s)
This is the roof of the place I work at. I arrived one morning last week to see this. This is the work of a night of a foot of wet heavy snow and 50-60 mph winds. The pattern of the metal roof is perfectly formed into the snow. I would have liked to been here to watch it form.

Woah! Maybe it was moving like a micro-glacier. CarloSW2 |
Micro-glacial movement is my guess as well, especially looking at the icicles that are now stalagmites. the metal roof was probably warm enough to get a layer of water going under the snow, allowing it to move from the force of the winds.
Beautiful picture too! |
Ha! We had a similar type of snow here about a week ago. You should have seen what weird things sheets of snow were doing off buildings & vehicles.
It looked like old man winter called in sick and Salvador Dali filled in for the day! |

Sorry, but that's the way I see things these days. |
Yeah, it does that hear too

It must be quite stressful for the overhang... hope it was built strong enough to sustain that kinda load.

Snow!? We are already running air conditioning around these parts.

My wife's sister lives in Arizona, and all winter is teasing us about the 70 F days while we are freezing. Then the tables are turned in mid summer when I still don't need AC and they're just baking.
It was nice here for a few days, it briefly hit 50 F in the sun. But we still have a lot of snow left, and it is back to cold again. 8 F yesterday morning and 20 F and snow in the day, and -5 F this morning. It seems about 3rd person around here has another house in the south, and lives here for 3 months in the summer. If I was rich, that would be the way to go. But since I'm not, I'll settle for being here since I can always put on more clothes when it gets cold. |
That's quite an amazing pic, being from the UK I never get to see anything like that. Damned English weather.
