Yup. This is a big deal. Roof collapsing, downed power lines, roads closed continuously due to avalanches - a State of Emergency has been declared. Read the Declaration Here
It rained all day and most of last night. The plowed roads are now ice packed with water on top. Makes for some interesting travel on the side roads. The main roads are clear flooded in some places. Several areas of the county are simply inaccessible; either due to avalanches or water-covered icy roads.
Mike and I are walking up and down the hill now to our cabin. No way can we drive up there. He is working on getting some sand (which will get eaten up by the ice and be of little use in a day or two, ugh!).
And we are a long, long way from this being over.
I am Duty Officer for the weekend. We'll see what incidents lie ahead.......
