I'm just rewatching... then I heard the name "Dexter". Missed this cat.

[@lanasin1267]

Whenever that sad video about Dexter passing pops up on my KZbin feed, I cry and cry and cry. Just can’t help it. One of my cats just died of a cancer this summer and second one is going through chemo treatments right now 😢

Your videos is never boring, I love being part of your adventure. 😊 I'll be praying for you and your family, be safe💐😇

[@matiasthered]

Fun to watch this 5 years later knowing what has happened in these sweet peoples lives. 😊

[@swederosa]

First of all, bless your heart for sharing how you and your sweet family handle adversity with grace. Second, in the midwest we use roof rakes (?) to clear snow off the roof - it helps extend your reach a bit (Amazon). As a nurse on a cardiac unit, I worry about all those people clearing the heavy snow - many heart attcks happen shoveling heavy snow. Praying for health and safety (and some warm sunshine) for you all. Pet Dexter for me!!

[@gardenanswer]

Thank you for the prayers! 😊💜

[@Tinkergrumpybuns]

Hey Laura. I am just catching up on your videos. Yes ROOF RAKES! I am from New England. Couple years ago we had extreme snowmagedon. I had the only roof rake in the neighborhood and made lots of new friends! You could have used it at work too from the bucket of the lift! You may not get it all, but less time standing on roof risking a fall! Love your channel, shared you with my garden groups!

[@nirzareepandya2200]

As a Canadian I can say you’re not overreacting that is a lot of snow.

[@michellebrady3621]

Since I live in western portion of New York state...i can totally relate. Laura, you should invest in a roof rack.

@@valeriebergman3588 the only thing I have to reference is hydroplaning on movies... as im from Southern tip of Africa. Western Cape. Cape Town. Worst we get here is spring wind.

Winter is actually where everything ia green.... its so amazing...

[@debbyrennock8435]

I enjoyed watching this old video. I remember this. It's our life in Wisconsin quite often. Sad to see roofs down though. That's never good. Watching the tRUMP video was nauseating . Miss Dexter. 😢 I was thinking how different it would be now, with children, more land and buildings, etc. You both have accomplished so much since then. Thanks for sharing your gardens and life " out west " with us.😊

[@deannededemariehampton768]

Hi guys, I just watched this video of 2years ago with the major snow storm you had to deal with. I’m sorry it was a hard winter 🥶 but the arial pictures were beautiful. It’s so weird that you get such hot 🥵 weather and then snow like that. You guys are not boring at all, I like seeing how your days go. Thank you so much for sharing your life. Take care and God bless you.

You have so much energy! I remember hauling my groceries on a tarp because my car could not go through to my house! You and your husband are awesome!

[@Badlands_stitcher]

Hope you guys stay safe and warm. I live in Alberta in Canada and we get a fair amount of snow every year so I know how time consuming and stressful it can be dealing with all the snow and the ice.

You are such a positive person. I am so glad I found your channel.

I am new to your videos and have been a subscriber for a couple of months now. I am thrilled to have found you! And no you are not overreacting about the snow. We are in Cle Elum and have tons of snow as well. Luckily our structures are built with heavy snow loads built-in. God Bless you for giving us Garden Answers🙏🏻🌹

[@shellyshomelife]

Oh my goodness, all of that snow!!!! It can be so heavy and yes, it will do some destruction, just like any kind of storm from mother nature. It may be pretty and white, but it can be damaging. Y'all both work so hard! I admire your work ethic to take care of your home and your business. The footage at the end was just breathtaking. Thank you for sharing! Hugs from Texas, Shelly

[@MosaicRose99]

This is definitely a strange winter for many. Those of us living in California who, after going through a terrible drought last year, are now getting soaked with rain to the point of floods. Crazy.

[@SuccyCrafts]

Not boring at all girlie* Very interesting actually, at least for me. I live in San Diego and there is no such thing as snow around here. The rain is hitting us pretty hard right now, but nothing compared to your dilemma. I have your town in my prayers*

Thank you! :)

[@brandylee53]

The drone footage was so beautiful

[@SuttonShimai]

My husband just stumbled across this video today. We live across the river from the city where that Home Depot is and Snowmagedden happened our very first winter here. It wasn't too much of a big deal because we had just moved from Iowa the year before and that gets a lot of heavy snow, too. Been to that Home Depot many times and we bought some of our furniture from that furniture store that later collapsed. They reopened a year later in a new location. We, too, had to hire people to get the snow off the roof and I remember that church was cancelled for two weeks in a row until they could get professionals to clear off the church roof. I'm just glad the following winters were much milder.

[@sheilamarkley4125]

[@24jessejames]

not boring at all from this Phoenician prospective - had no idea what all is involved to survive in your climate. keep on shoveling, and stay safe!

[@JennDS07]

So I live in Arizona but you live in my home town. Watching you vlog made me a little homesick. I defiantly don't miss the snow but seeing all the familiar places in your background defiantly made my day even though it was sad to see some of them totally destroyed. I understand the destruction from the snow, my parents own a little business in town that collapsed. And my little brother is taking full advantage of the $20 per hour snow removal. This was definitely not a boring video. 👍

[@debsouzer3681]

Praying the weather has eased up for you all! The snow is beautiful but boy it really can be destructive. Stay safe and thank you as always ;)

Oh, my goodness: I cannot fathom that volume of snow! What a huge effort to protect your many structures that, as Aaron commented, were not designed to sustain that much weight. Whew. Thank you, Laura, for appreciating the blessing of a different perspective---oh, what we all take for granted.

[@asposito]

It's pouring rain here in NoCal, and further north is snow we've never seen. One crazy winter. At least you are going to be in great shape after all this shoveling! Stay safe! Great video (sans the Trump footage : /) God bless.

This was one of my fav videos, not sure how I missed it. You have no idea how much people would pay to see snow like this.

Laura, Thank you for the vlog. It was very interesting. I can't imagine having to deal with all that snow and be worried that my house might collapse. I feel sorry for "older" folks that can't get out. Also, what do you all do to make sure you are safe when you are so high up on that roof???? I am pretty sure I couldn't do it. I never thought I had a fear of heights but I did try to get on a 2nd story roof once and I just couldn't do it. I hope you don't lose any more buildings at the garden center. Take care. I hope no more snow for you all. Carla

[@pearlortiz7037]

No, Thank you. My daughter said "Wow, mom lets move to Oregon." Nope, I think I might stay in dry desert west Texas. (for now) Sorry you're having to deal with such a mess of beautiful snow.

Hope that it gets better for you real soon.

I'm from an area a little north of Atlanta GA and we don't get much snow at all. When we do it's not "true" snow. Its a mixture of snow and ice or just ice. I think that's what makes it different from what northern states get. The ice makes the roads very dangerous to drive on.

I live in the D.C. Area, one of those places that used to drop everything and shut down at an hint of snow. Surprisingly, we have actually grown up! We may shy at the first hint in the season, but after that we get our road in our neighborhood done the first night by the County, and we live in a huge county, with more than a million people and we still have some rural areas! It's kind of a bummer because I love being stuck inside. My idea of shoveling snow is to write a check to someone else. Loved those shots and the music at the end.
