On the edge of salt just not able to work unless you apply it at 2-3x normal application rates. 11 degrees without the wind chill. Sun is coming up though. That will help melt some snow/ice. High if 38 tomorrow, 44 Saturday, climb to 50 by Monday, and highs stay in the 40s until next Thursday where it shows a high of 38 a couple days in a row. Bizarre how we go from negative temps with wind chill to 50 degrees in a few days.
Well … we are finally seeing grass. This storm was very hard in the area. Many trees down or limbs stripped as the weight of the ice an snow crashed down. Dozens of roofs collapsed of buildings, my self included. Is been since the beginning of gun I filed a clame with insurance and they are moving slow.
All my summer equipment, tools and such were inside. Building is totaled but the pissing match of “contents” is about to begin. Having a couple of pods dropped so as things come out, they can be secured if salvaged. Having a crew come out to safely take the building down…

Initially the building during a break in the storm
No…
The damn to our 100 year old, 10 acre lake was lost in July from a 200 year storm that dumped 7” of rain in a matter of hours.
This year has been brutal.

Damn brother. You're living the old adage of "when it rains, it pours" and then sometimes is snows. Wish I was closer and could provide a helping hand!

Hate to read this, Jim. The roof and building can be replaced. Not sure if there was as much sentimental value in the building or not. Losing the lake dam had to feel like being gutted alive. I'm sorry.
Thanks guys.
It was a 2 car, wood frame garage.
When the weight of the snow was too much and crashed down, the trusses kind of blew out the walls. I had to use the tractor and bucket to plow since my plow for the 4 wheeler was in there.
The trusses are holding chunks of roof inside off the floor which is why it’s to dangerous to go in until some equipment can pull the mass off the contents. Some things may have been saved by the trusses keeping stuff from being crushed but other things have been destroyed. What may have survived is being ruined by all the rain an snow melt.

Loosing the lake was heartbreaking. Thousands of fish, gone. 5 generations of fishing, water foul hunting, boating and swimming in that water. Now it’s just a valley with a stream going down the middle. Thinking of all the times we’ve had and now lost brought many family members to tears.
The ODNR (dep. overseeing dams/ lakes and waterways) was very insensitive and a bitch for the most part, sending me demands with threats of $5,000 fines per day per infraction on repairs or destroying the spillway and damn. Immediately after, I was forced to hire a “approved “ engineer to draw up plans just to outline stabilizing the breach. That bill alone was over a grand. They have lost their perspective and are not a friend to the landowner as they use to be historically.

Sadly all the government agencies are worried about is money and control. I deal with it everyday. Are you going to be able to fix the dam and restore the lake?
