Warm weather has dislodged most of the snow and ice which can slide off structures.  Compared to last year, very little damage has been observed so far.  On Boultbee Road, two owners are dealing with fascia boards ripped off of eaves and a small roof structure pulled off a cabin by travelling ice.  Only one chimney has been crumpled by sliding snow although there are roof vents still under the watchful eyes of neighbours.  Melt water could still pose a problem to some known trouble spots around the lake but so far, the cool spring temperatures have kept melting and evaporating snow to a very slow pace.
