AlTahoe Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 7 minutes ago, Brian_in_Leavenworth said: How old is it? If it somewhat modern, and built to code, it should be ok. Leavenworth has a code that requires a snow load 4.25x the national average. Lake Wenatchee requires a code 7x the national average. December 1996 saw 90 inches of snow fall so probably the load on roofs was greater than today. January 1969 had 3 days with a snow depth of 93 inches. If your cabin is that old and has had a new roof since then, it should be ok I would think. Point is that our area has seen greater snow depth and greater weights of snows. This big snow was fairly fluffy and light, based on the shoveling that I did, and based on how much it has compacted since Friday. These are the #'s for in town Tahoe and outside near the mountains. In the city, homes built today must be able to hold 150 pounds of snow per square foot (PSF), and in the county it depends on where your home is located, with some areas requiring 300 pounds per square foot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegaraptor Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Anyway it looks like the Willamette Valley including Corvallis is under an inversion and cooler than Puget Sound this morning. Nice to see. Pretty crazy how long Ellensburg has been below freezing for. Last above freezing temp there was on 12/26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National average is 20#, so those are really strong roofs there. So many people here, especially newcomers, hiring people to take snow off their roofs, and often probably unnecessary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am more concerned about the secondary buildings like the garages and ADU. Plus I'd be willing to bet the greenhouse roof is toast, but that happens every couple years anyway.

Amazon will pay $5,250 year with no life time limit for associates and bachelor's degrees. I was 47 when I finally completed my Bachelor's Degree. I don't know how old you are, but hopefully that's proof that you are never too old. I was working 45-50 hour weeks and my youngest was still in high school while I was going t school. It made a huge difference in my life. There are many career paths that do not require a degree, mine is not on one of them. I advanced pretty high up where I was at because of my hard work, but I could not go anywhere else because I could not "check that box." I finished my degree in 2019 (BS in Business Management), and fall 2020 I found out I was going to get laid off. Yeah, I was a little concerned, but nothing like the stress I felt during previous layoffs when I didn't have that degree. I got my degree from WGU, and I loved it. It's perfect for someone who is working full time, has family obligations, etc. My wife has been going (she had to take a break) to WGU, and my 25 year old daughter should be graduating this summer. Hell, I'm even thinking about going back to get my MBA and see if I can land a part time teaching gig there to get a little extra income to boost my retirement.

My guess is that opinion of this movie is quite divided within this community/forums. Personally thought it was a great movie. I loved it, pretty sure our real life government would put profit at the top of the list over public safety if something like that was actually imminent to an extent. And the end credits scene 21000 years later was hilarious!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can go to the banter thread I guess, but there ain't much going on here right now. Both my parents have Omicron, but they're fine. The usual mild symptoms. Man alive, it's spreading like crazy. Cooper turns 3 months old on Thursday. He's hoping for more snow this year. Anyone else seeing their investments get annihilated lately, particularly the last week or so? Still awaiting the new 4Runner but while I wait putting together my first road trip with it!!! Also looking at all the fun addons that I may need for the trip…hopefully storm chasing mid west! Regarding the market….double digit gains have been unreal these past few years and have definitely spoiled many of us! So of course frustrating to watch large portions wiped away so quickly. During the turbulent times in the market I tend to look away as I know in the long run it will prevail. I will need to look more into stable funds as I age though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
