If my door had a proper seal, I’d have seen about half of that. Instead, my entryway had about 6 inches of snow from the blow-under. It was about 2 feet to trudge through to get to the car today.

You realize you’re coming from a nation  that has a reputation for having anything that moves will probably kill you.

That’s my point, this has the courtesy of telling you not to leave your house.

Please understand I’m joking around.

Cheers!

Spoken like a true Ballarat resident! I’ve never seen snow in this country.

I agree. Wouldn’t be able to own the MR2. It’d be rusted to shit.

I feel the same way about those in hurricane areas, tornado belts, etc. Why live in such a place?

I once lived o n Arthur’s Seat down in Dromana, right on the top. There was a fire in ~’98 that burned bottom of the mountain to the top in something like 8 minutes, living there was always a fire risk. Evacuated once or twice. But aside from that, FUCK volatile areas

Looks like we’re leaving the house through the second story windows

I could. But the MR2 would never make it and I’ve little interest.

Or Bulla. I’ve been there in the summer, it’s nice

A few years ago I lived in a small house built in the 1940's as a summer home; it was never really designed for winter use. It snowed a TON and I had to shovel the roof twice over the winter due to the weight. Between that and plowing the driveway up near to the front of the house, you could just walk from the yard up to the roof and back down the other side. Our cats would do it all the time. I had stairs cut into the snow from the doors on both sides of the house, so you could go up and out. It was nuts.

Here in the northeast US a lot of places just aren’t designed to hold 100's of lbs of weight per square foot. Wet snow is heavy.

It’s really windy up there, that’s likely just a snow drift. It still covers the door, but it’s probably not more than a foot or two thick. You could go out another door to clear that snow without getting any in the house.

I lived in that area of ND for a year. Drifts could be 7-10" tall, it was wild. It would snow three feet, and you could see grass poking through the snow some places, and others would be tall as shit. It was kinda cool to see where the drifts formed and where they didn’t.

Two of our deepest drifts at the house were below our bedroom windows, and next to the garage. We jumped out the windows and off the roof of that garage for fun.

Snow is good

Also, you can always put on more clothes, but there’s only so much you can take off :)

*has a roof rake, can confirm*

**a roof rake is the tool used to remove snow from the roof of a house or garage**

I have one for our house now, I just do the very edges. It’s steep enough not to worry about accumulation and it’s 18' to the eaves, so...

The other house was about 9' to the eaves, and low-pitch enough you could safely walk on it. If you did fall, it was - you guessed it - into a big pile of snow! We did go sledding off the roof a few times.
