That is kinda scary. Does that door open out or in?? Thinking about having to get out of there fast!! Hubby's excuse for staying at our condo at Tremblant is that he has to keep the deck clear!! I mean its a condo, they have people that do that, that we pay! No way, only he can clean it right.
The door opens in. We're not worried about getting out; heck, a fire would melt it, anyway. It reminds me of a tidal wave, though, just as it's getting ready to break.

out my front door
Actually, somewhere here is the PATH that leads to my front door.
Nothing falling off the roof, this is the actual snow depth - about 42".

These pics are making me very happy!
Last year when we were at Big Sky, we flew back during the Valentine's Day storm (had to fly to Laguardia in NY and rent a car to drive home because Bradley was closed) but it was so worth it for the snow that we had for February school vacation and the rest of the month! I guess I'll just have to come here every February so it snows back home. LOL
Enjoy!

Anyone else in New England experiencing hurricane-force winds? Good grief, it's just RAGING out there and has been all night. DH had to sleep with ear plugs - the window frames (right in the line of fire of wind direction) were rattling all night. Needless to say, we now have branches, flotsam, debris, pine needles EVERYWHERE, and the snow has drifted to 7-8 feet in places. New pics pending...
We had howling winds for most of the night in northern NJ. Our trees got a good shaking a week ago when we had a localized ice storm with lots of wind, so all that's outside this morning are a few smaller branches.
The previous storm was downright scary, though! An inch or so of ice accumulation on the trees, then the temps went just above freezing in the afternoon and tree limbs and big chunks of ice rained down everywhere--it looked like an ice-maker gone mad!

More due Tues-Wed, could be significant, weather-jury is still out on this storm track. Wind still raging and only +11 on my front porch.

Ugg... I vowed not to ski during vacation week, since it will be crowded and expensive... but the new job is FORCING me to take next Monday off... hrm........... 
As for winds boy we had em last night. This morning seemed less (still very windy, but not quite rattle the house windy) until I decided to drive to work and felt like my car (Pathfinder with thule box on top) was gonna get blown over or the box ripped off!
According to my home weather station which is sheltered from a lot of winds (just can't get the anemometer up high enough with all the trees we have), we had a gust of 32mph before midnight last night. Since midnight we've been up to 27mph. I believe if not for the trees you could easily add 15-20mph to those speeds based on what I saw reported at the official NWS sites that are local and free of the trees.
