So, yesterday, I had a day off from class and teaching. Did a lot of personal errands, or well to-do's around the campus from cleaning my messy cabin, rearranging the furniture, writing letters to friends and family, to finishing up my Year 2-Graduate School application to the University of Wyoming.
In the midst of my productive zone, I was sitting at my desk and all of a sudden I hear this huge crash outside my cabin. I turn to my window, and it was not what I saw but lack of what I saw: which was nothing except snow! Instead of seeing the view to the Main Lodge and Dining Lodge, all I could see was a huge mound of snow!

There was a mini-avalanche that had occurred on my roof and covered my view from my window. All winter snow had been piling up on the roof. I am thinking about 2 and half to 4 feet of snow. The past few days have been full of an endless snowfall and the weird thing is that the temperatures have been increasing to the low and mid-30s. So this slight warming had been causing snow all around campus to melt and fall off. Which can be really scary based on how much had accrued on my cabin!

| Snowy Damage |
Luckily, no one was hurt in the process and my cabin was left un-damaged! However, I think maybe should try to prevent this from happening again and taking off some of that accumulated snow off my cabin. Hmmm. Or Maybe I should do what they do at the ski resorts, bomb the snow and have artificial avalanches!

Guess I'll Have Some Shoveling To Do Tomorrow!
