Its hard to imagine, that is a lot of snow for a city to deal with. That area is known for high accumulation, so you would think they have planned as best can be done, but when something like this happens, more than likely taxes all resources heavily. Melt off, just hope its a slow one !!!!
Just a few years ago, winter of '10-'11, we had quite a bit of snow over a longer period of time and many lost buildings, one of our barns had to be reinforced at the same time the roof was being cleaned off, but that barn did have some issues, thankfully I reinforced and repaired trusses that fall, it held up, but was making noises, we got the roof cleared, the other 1/3 of it that was in better condition did collapse with a wet snow late winter of '09.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
