Friday morning hurray it’s raining so now the snow will thaw, then a thunderous crash so I rush to the window to see what on earth…..
This is what I saw

Not only the carport but the contents are smashed to pieces too, fortunately the car was in the garage!!

Alas my seeds in their trays are under 4’ snow and the metal garden table they were on is broken in two

Thanks Eileen fingers crossed if the snow EVER thaws it's off the roof but 4' deep still over everything were the dry space used to be! :o(( indeed

Sorry to see this ... luckily your car wasn't under all that! Shame about your lovely garden table too ... as Irish said, I hope it all gets sorted out quickly and painlessly for you.

Oh no!!! that's such a shame,hope you get things sorted out

How terrible ! I hope it has cleared now and you can get on with sorting it all out. It must have been heavy to break a metal table. Good job you were not standing under there at the time.

I thought mine was bad enough,when it happened to my cold frame,but yours is far worse.so sorry Neellan.Its all the clearing up too,of the damaged stuff.
Hope you get sorted soon,and so glad no one was under it ,when it came down...

Sorry to see that

19 Jan, 2010

 

OMG!! Never mind the car I am just so pleased neither yourselves or the dog where underneath it. Take extra care whilst you are clearing it all please

That's just awful - you poor things! As others have said, though - it could have been worse. Not a lot of consolation, I know, but try to think of it like that.

19 Jan, 2010

 

Oh dear poor you, hope you can get it sorted soon, the weather has been shocking one way and another.

19 Jan, 2010

 

Sorry you have had such alot of damage.

19 Jan, 2010

 

Agree..sorry you have had such a lot of damage.We should never under estimate the weight of snow !

19 Jan, 2010

 

Aw thank you all for your kind comments
The insurance company has been in touch and I have to get estimates for replacement car port and gutters their Assessor is coming on Sat to inspect the damage I hope the snow has melted by then as it is still covering everything!
