WOW....................welcome to my world.... although we have had 3 foot snow falls on my boat port, code up here i believe is to withstand 50 lbs per sq foot............looks like about 6 inches tops was accumulated which might account for 5 lbs per sq ft.....must have had some wind as well for that to occur............pretty devastating what a little snow can do

We built a house up here with plans from Ok, one of the major drawing revision's was restructuring for snow load.....

Definitely sad! That part of the state saw over a foot of snow and some areas broke records over 20". I'm not sure exactly how much Grand Lake saw, but I'm pretty sure it was a foot or more. That combined with some pretty heavy winds was more than those structures could handle. That's gonna take a pretty serious effort to recover from.

Ouch. That sucks...I guess that is one way to winterize your boat... Can't freeze the block when it is under water....
