Roof collapses are horrible. I also worry about those who have medical emergencies in this weather. It’s amazing what an impact these big storms can have. As in your photo, just poor visibility due to snow accumulation can be deadly. Elderly people are at a real disadvantage when it comes to coping with the physical demands of a heavy snowfall. I never really thought much about this kind of thing when I was younger, but it’s not all a lark for everyone.
Fortunately no one has been injured in the roof collapses. People don’t usually get hurt in care accidents, either, because they are going too slowly. However, I heard on radio that on woman was killed as a result of the snow, didn’t hear how.
Hubby clears a widow neighbor’s driveway every year and he’s really paying his dues this season, top 4 snowiest so far (I think we’ll make the top 3 spot.
Make sure your neighbors are okay.
