Hello Friends!
I know that many of you live in warm countries and you don't have a cold winter. Therefore, I want to share snow and cold from Russia. It was constantly snowing all through December and January, and at first it was light and fluffy, but over time it begins to compress into a dense mass with ice elements. The snow becomes hard and heavy.
This story is about how I came to my parents' dacha to look at the condition in a difficult winter period. ( A dacha is usually a small summer house, we have it without heating, and a small plot of land. My parents grow vegetables there in the summer and just relax from the hustle and bustle of the city)
We barely got there, because the roads are very difficult in winter and where they are rarely cleaned, you can get stuck in the snow.
To get home, we had to dig our way step by step, and the snow fell there almost to the waist and it became quite hard.
You can see that a lot of snow has accumulated on the roof. This is very dangerous, the wooden structure can not withstand the load at any time and break down.
My goal was to climb up and throw the snow off the roof.
I am glad that everything was done. There was so much snow and ice on the roof that cleaning took a long time, and snow had to be thrown off from the sheds.
If this is not done, then sometimes disasters occur and the structure collapses.
Even in the news, they often talk about the collapse of the roof in shopping malls or parking lots, where timely cleaning is not done
Thank you all for your support!!!

Whoa that’s a lot of snow! 😳
It’s a good thing you were able to make it out there to do some cleanup. One day we look forward to having a small getaway place to get out of the city. I liked your photos.
This type of post about weather and nature would fit well in the Amazing Nature Community. OCD is more for general topics that don’t fit in any of the other niche communities ~
Thank you for the hint! I'm starting to get my bearings here, there's still a lot I don't understand!Thank you for your support!
You’re very welcome.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask questions ;)
Well done! We have the exact same problem with snow. The building code requires that houses have roofs strong enough to hold many times more snow that there almost always is but snow guards are not required except over entrances in regular use. It's possible to get hit by literally tons of compacted snow and ice if one carelessly steps out the back door at the wrong time.
Yes, a lot of snow, a lot of problems!
