Crap. My carport just collapsed under the snow.

I'm in the kitchen cooking dinner and I hear a loud crash. The snow here is melting (it has been snowing out of control here for the last week with about 10 inches on the ground which never happens and now it is warming up and melting) so there have been some noises all day with ice breaking and falling out of trees and things like that. At first I thought it was that, then it got real loud. I go over to the window and see the roof of my carport collapsed in on my car.

I walk around with a flashlight and see it just gave in. Luckily it seems my car only got a couple of scratches on it. The odd thing is that I called it. The house was built in 1989 and the carport was added at the same time so it is kind of old. Earlier I am talking to my brother and tell him I am ready for the snow to go away because I am worried about it caving in the carport roof then about three hours later it happens. I think it was the rain that did it in. The snow has been here for three days. If it had just melted I would have been okay, but it rained hard for about three hours and then froze on the snow and I think that added weight did it.

My brother said on his drive to my house to help me get my car out he saw three others that had the same problem. I've been meaning to tear that thing down and build a newer better version, I was just hoping to wait until it was a little warmer.

Merry fraxing Christmas.
