Dutside in the yard lay a large sec

er of snow and, ice that tumbled
from the house roof on a rare,
warming morning weeks before.
That same avalanche had
knocked out parts of a few panes
of greenhouse glass, even though
we’d covered the end of the little
structure toward the roofs edge
wi|h protective wood and card
board. A large icicle that had
formed along the upper edge of
the greenhouse’s outer glass had
also crashed down onto the
slanted solar section, knocking out
another pane.
Not to mention the section of
heifer housing that had crumpled
when a similar avalanche of snow
slid off the high, sloped bank-barn
roof and dumped several tons of
icy stuff on one comer of our old,
flat-roofed, freestall addition.
Still, compared to many winter
weather victims, our damages are
relatively minor. One livestock
raising friend had three separate
barn facilities collapse under
snow. And as piles of snow and
ice melt away in welcome warm
