Mornin!
We had a blizzard yesterday. The kids were home from school with an hour delay today. I never thought much about blizzards when I was younger, but when I did I just thought it was a bunch of snow. Actually, it's not really the amount of snow, but the blowing of it. It's really fine, dry snow that blows all around and decreases visibility. Last night the weatherman said visibility was reduced to 1/4 mile. With such fine snow and high winds we always get snow blowing into the breezeway from the courtyard. Here's the snow HH has to walk thru to get to his office.
It's hard to see it below, but it's even on the wall! And piled up on our containers of salt and sand (to put on the snow for traction.)
This is another reason to re-do the breezeway in the spring.
Last year, we left the old vents up on the side of the gables and snow blew into the attic above DS's room. It was a mess. Now it's fixed! I had to seal up all the holes from the inside with plastic and TuckTape. The outside still needs to be shingled and Tyveked.
Maybe this summer? I shingled up as far as I felt comfortable on the ladder, now HH has to finish the rest. He doesn't seem to mind the heights as much as me!
I was concerned about snow blowing into the attic from the back where the breezeway roof fell. It was fine, but snow still got in above where the hot water heater is. (It's in the taupe plywood closet below.)
Ahh, the joys of winter! On the bright side, it's a beautiful sunny day! I will try to get out and enjoy it. :-)
