Snow Damage: Vernon Hill home roof about to collapse

I happened to be driving by this house earlier this morning, on my way to take the Princess to school, and a gentleman flagged me down to let me know that this house's wall buckling and that I should be cautious while driving by.

After taking the Princess to school, I had to make my way back home, and I typically drive up Vernon Street to make my way to Granite Street.

Well, let's just say that due to the snow, ice and a flat roof, the foundation started to crack and it appeared that the house would collapse at any moment. (Luckily, the house is vacant and it appears that it's owned by a bank, because of the professionally applied boards on the windows.)

In speaking with a few firemen and Emergency Staff, the plan is to knock the house down. (The residents of the houses on either side have been evacuated as a safety precaution.)

I'll post more pictures of the torn down house later.

Snow..Yeah, we know how the story goes

One thing we can all complain about this year, thus far is how much it's snowed! I usually say to anyone complaining too much, "Shit can always be worse....so count your blessings. You woke up this morning."

Besides complaining about the snow, I've noticed people making more eye contact and speaking, just to say, "hello". (I know this shouldn't come as a surprise, but I've noticed that New Englanders are very 'shy' when it comes to simple greetings such as 'Good morning', 'Good afternoon' or 'Good evening'.) This is great!

Well, it looks like we're in store for another 6-10-inches of snow. So, you know that means a foot of snow for Worcester County, right?

So, no complaining and make sure you head to the grocery store tomorrow, and not on Tuesday.

Peace.
