Lynn Boadwine got on his cell phone to summon help moments after his barn roof collapsed on Christmas morning. “It was incredible,” Boadwine said. “Less than two hours after the barn went down, we had several loads of lumber here and about 25 neighborhood volunteers.” (photo by Jerry Nelson)
The day after the barn roof collapsed at Boadwine Dairy, a fire truck was brought in to use water to try to blow the snow off imperiled loafing shed roofs. “It worked, but 4,000 gallons of water cleared only about 14 feet of roof,” Boadwine said. This photo shows how much the roof had sagged under the extreme snow load. (photo submitted)
