Astonishing. Never, ever happened before. Not once.
Welcome to snow country.
Snow is no longer a thing. I was told 18 years ago by Al Gore that winter would be disappear.
I wonder if FEMA will get a call. And if so, will Elon answer the phone?
More Global Warming.
Who woulda thunk that was possible......
Due to global warming, the snow is particularly heavy and no one wants to shovel it off their roofs.
Actually I can see it happening. My cousin who is a widower living in Maine. Had several feet of snow on her roof. She’s 85 so can’t manage it herself. The neighbors came over and shoveled it off her roof. She now hired a company to shovel for her but that first winter without her husband was pretty hard.
Tumble down shack in Big Foot county
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in
Delilah Jones went to meet her God
And the old man never was the same again
I have an Avalanche roof rake to avoid ice dams but it works like a charm vs. the traditional roof scrapers. If you Google it, the rake works exactly as advertised.
Look at the pics and snow amount on buildings in the background. It’s not that much. The roofs that collapsed must have been under-designed or had rotting trusses. What a stupid article. Trying to make crappy roof structures all about snow/weather.
Somebody is going to want a shot at the USAID Slot Machines to try to win 2 billion taxpayer dollars worth of “environmental justice.”
I thought there wasn’t supposed to be any more snow after the year 2000.

It happened one year to the roof of the DPW in Fulton because of the snow weight.
Everyone knew to shovel off their roofs and people did it all the time.
The DPW knew better.
I’ve been in Oswego many times. Likely the building collapses are going to raise property values. Too bad, because the view of Lake Ontario is great and it’s beautiful country around the city. The city has a lot of potential, but alas is only another economically depressed Canal town, thanks to NYS government.
Plus Oswego County was a welfare county. I don’t know if that’s changed, but it is poor.
There are some good farms and orchards up there, though.
I grew up in that area. We didn’t think it was abnormal.
Headline problem: New York county is a place, coterminous with Manhattan Island, with one small exception (Marble Hill).
The events in the article happened in Oswego county, in New York State.
While there I got talking to a Regular Army 1LT who had wintered over during the previous winter. He said that many parts of the installation remained unplowed during the winter and in those areas the buildings (old WWII wooden buildings) were completely buried in snow.
No wonder it's now the home of the 10th Mountain Division!
Net Zero will fix it
I have a friend who lives in Oswego.
6.5 feet of snow has happened before, however the narrative is that it was supposed to never happen again, because Climate Change is still considered to be a warming event. 😋
