In my last blog post I told about the snow......obviously we weren't going to get any solar for several days. It is a good thing we are plugged in for electricity.
We had about 20 inches of snow, higher than Roger's rubber barn boots.
Then it warmed up to above freezing, still in the mid 30s, but warmer, and it rained all day. Not real hard, but ice was building up on everything. There about 1/2 an inch on the truck windshield and it was building up on the trees.
Those are ice cycles, not just dripping water.
There were, and still is, power outages all over western Washington. Roger said that he could hear almost a constant popping sound when he went outside. A lot of limbs and trees are falling in the woods behind us. I can could hear some of the loudest ones inside the bus, even with the insulation on the windows on that side. He said that 150 foot trees were bending over in all directions from the ice build up and when the ice got too heavy, they broke and fell.
At least the dog enjoyed it. She rolled up a ball of snow, ate some off, and rolled it bigger again.
It is warming up now and the snow is melting, so there will probably be flooding in some areas.
Until next time , God bless.
