Avalanche!
We have very ugly green metal awnings on our house, and they are not long for the world. We plan to remove and dispose of them in the spring. Of course, I have been planning to remove them every spring since 2001, but this time I think we're serious.
These awnings are easy to forget about, they are very familiar and boring. But every winter when it snows we are reminded of them anew, as the snow builds up on them and then releases in waves of mini avalanches. Heather said the "event" this morning was pretty spectacular as awning avalanches go, it startled the whole house and now the dogs are circling the living room like agitated sharks.
What will we do for mid-winter entertainment next year, I wonder...
