HOLY MOLY yesterday we knocked easy 500 lbs of icicles off the house. I got ice dams easy 6" tall. Going to have a problem soon if it rains. Can't get a ladder up there right now. I chiseled out a bit behind the ice dam with the snow rake. Barely long enough. That's a workout! Roads were a skating rink this morning.
The plow guy took down a icicle Friday that shook the ground when it landed from 8' up at the shop.
Yesterday most of the remaining ice dam came down on the 4 season room and only caused one leak. Today what remained came down and shattered one panel and we have a new leak
You can see most of the dam had come down and caused the leak in the first picture, note the remainder that hadn't fallen yet to the right.
I am trying to find solace in thinking it could have been worse, it could have been me falling and breaking the glass; but it really doesn't make me feel any better. I sometimes wonder why I keep getting up after getting kicked so many times when I'm down. I must have been pretty bad in my past life

Dinning room under the deck and the office where the floor damage is. Water came in at the top where the molding has separated.
Crack in the wall, this is sheetrock over plywood because this wall was an exterior wall before the room was added so I am not sure why it cracked.
The door frame between the main part of the house and the 4 season room.
