We still have no radio stations, no mail delivery (I guess "neither rain nor sleet, now snow" is too old fashioned in these days of e-mail), and no way out of town except north into Utah. It beautiful and fun in a way.
Wayne shoveling snow off of the flat-roof garage. Flat roofs are more likely to cave in if they get too heavy. The rain last night on top of the snow made things very heavy.

One of our favorite store's for used books (Bookman's) had its roof collapse last night. The roof is flat. What a shame that all of those books are now ruined with snow and ice falling in. (At least the Science, History, Travel, and Southwest sections of the store did not take the brunt of the collapse).

Babbit's downtown. Everything is closed - stores, offices, even the movie theaters.

Looks like a great down payment towards running creeks/springs this spring!!! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a scene! Dad and I are surely glad we are in Phoenix, even though the wind last night blew down a portion of our block wall. Helen had told us of the collapsed roofs. Sorry about your neighbor's greenhouse. Thanks so much for sharing the photos. Love, Mom Bruner
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! We are supposed to get that sort of snow. Stay warm and safe.
ReplyDeleteAt least you could get out even if nothing was open. Bummer about the bookstore, fiction ;-).
ReplyDeleteNice pictures, thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Wayne,
ReplyDeleteYou have an enviable job for sure. Your blog is as colorful as your job and the tales associated with it. Here is another interesting resource on immaculate photography of lighted snowy Christmas evenings.
