    1. "Lots of snow on the roof of this building at Roger's Pass. Roger's Pass in the Selkirk Mountains of BC is famous for the quantities of snowfall. This building is closed in winter for obvious reasons. This window is on the second floor showing here that the ground floor is completely buried."

    2. That sounds like Buffalo in the 70s, people were getting into and out of their homes via second floor windows.

  3. In '83 I was at Mammoth Mountain assisting a team for USGS. The rising plume of magma was the focus.

    During winter, a park ranger took refuge from a blizzard in a cabin set in the back country. That night a heavy snowfall sealed the cabin.
    He never woke up. Outgassing from the magma filled the snow enveloped cabin.
