Aahh,and a beautifull example of that is rime ice formations on trees and buildings and the like especially on top of mountains.Mt Washington has some spectacular creations.

...does this all mean that due to the wieght of the snow and ice, my screen house roof, which I chose to brace with tbars this year, instead of taking the whole structure down, had most likely caved in on itself????
I'm guessing yes, and will find out Friday, when I make the hour and a half drive up 93. Possibly I can arrive in time to remove the snow and ice.
Very hopeful...but doubtful at the same time.

I wouldn't panic yet SA. While a lot of roofs are giving up the ghost, I'm constantly amazed at how well my neighborhoods 100+ year old roofs with 2+ feet of snow on them have held up. Good luck!

According to the streaming audio from www.lrmfa.org, (Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid - dispatch) Laconia FD has confirmed a roof collapse with walls bowing out, after being called to Billy's Place on Lakeside Ave at the Weirs.

Lakeside Ave is now closed as a result, while crews do what they do. The gas to the building has just been shut off by PSNH. Firefighters just announced the collapse of a 60 x 30, 2-story building on Lakeside Ave.

No further details.
