I don't live tooooo far from you in NW MT and we have similar weather
but Luckily no high winds
We had 3 ft of snow which I loved as we do back country skiing
Then we had 4 days of heavy rain and the skiing is gone - all ice
Its crazy to even leave the house - dangerous driving - You can't drive on
ice

Re leaks - us too - in some places we never had them before

Fortunately our structures and barn are sound - I had to shovel the roof
of
my hayloft and chicken pen

So for now just staying home and fiddlin' around
Drinking a bit and a puff or 2

Like you - I am headed out for warm sunny Long Beach CA in 2 weeks for
business

Last total 40 miles north of Spokane (Spokane has gotten around 80 inches)
we are just over 100 inches. (just over 8 ft.) It's been crazy. I've
shoveled the house once and thankfully it unloaded on it's own within the
last day or two. I've shoveled my storage/shop 30x40 twice... My back will
never be the same. The scary part is that we are only a week or so into
January.

Cabin fever has come way to early this year,
