Up here in the mountains, Spring usually means two months of rain and mud. It is not yet clear if we are there or not but feeling a bit of warmth in the air these last few days has been nice. Still, it can be dangerous too!
Early in the week these blocks of ice fell from the roof of the four story building I live in, and this on a sidewalk that is just across the street from a school…
And there was still a lot up there and on many other roofs in the city too until a few days of warmer weather and sun (finally!) melted the worst of it.
The buildings owners are responsible for the snow on the roofs so it’s up to them to send someone to clear it off when it gets bad. Some do it, some don’t… Over the years I’ve seen quite a few parked cars get totaled by these “avalanches” as the locals call them, but have yet to hear of a human casualty. It seems like something that is bound to happen one day or another though….
