Snow bombs. Snow bombs are when a big collections of accumulates in things like 100 - 200 ft trees. And the it falls in a big clump, often bringing down branches with it.
My hen house was snow bombed, and the house collapsed. Flattened. Final tally is of 70 hens, I've lost 20...but I have 50 that appear to be unharmed. I had to rig a dog kennel as a sled to move them to a new house, and drag it through the snow, avoiding my own snow bombs.
Oh, and the island is shut down because of the massive amount of snow. And we've had no power for two days, no idea when it will be back.
I am still planning on doing the trip to Alberta, but have to deal with this first. still a chance ill be on time...
