So Much Snow, So Much Destruction // Garden Answer 

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

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

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

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

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!!

Living in Northern Ontario, this was my life on a weekly basis last year alone.. dreading it this year but can't deny how beautiful freshly fallen snow looks when you don't have to clear it.

Wow! Since I live in Florida I find this fascinating, but also sad, because it's like a hurricane but with snow. I'm glad you got the snow off your roof, and my heart and prayers goes out to you! I really appreciate these types of videos as well, I love the updates! I also think you should eat extra dessert every night for shoveling all that snow haha. Thanks for sharing!! ~Stephanie

Seeing for the first time! We read about Snowmaggeden, but seeing you live it helps us to know just how devastating it was to just your small town and the effect it had. So much compassion for y'all from south Texas.

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.

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.

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

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!

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*

The drone footage was so beautiful

Definitely not a boring video. So glad you and your family were safe.

WOW! that's a lot of snow but it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing with us and please be safe out there. Especially on the roof tops.

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.

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.

I’m enjoying catching up on old videos. These must be prior to kids. I’m not sure of the birth years. But I sure makes it easier. I’m glad you didn’t get hurt falling off the roof.

Oh my goodness I loved that part at the end! Just beautiful! However, I understand and sympathize with what you're going through. Praying for you all!

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

I live in St.Petersburg, Florida, but lived in Upstate NY my whole live minus the past 4 years. I can relate to enormous snow removal and the labor of it and worries. Hoping you rest, drink lots of water and can soon enjoy Springtime. I really enjoy your style of gardening on here, and have been so inspired to make 2 fairy gardens so far!

Oh Laura how things have changed!! Love looking back and looking forward to new all the new changes!

Not boring at all...loved seeing the way of life others like you and your family live! That snow may be lots of work but it absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you for this video. We live in Durango, CO where this type of snow is not uncommon, but this past winter it was even worse and we were in major survival mode for over a month, especially with the roof issues. It was exhausting, physically and mentally. Sorry that you had to go through this, but grateful for the share. Your attitude and energy are inspirational and continue to bolster my resolve.

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🙏🏻🌹

I feel for you guys, as a Canadian I can relate. Feeling bad for all those who have had buildings collapsing

Hi I'm from Lincoln a small town in England and I love watching you and your videos. All that snow, can't believe how much you guys have, if we get an inch everything grinds to a halt. Happy snow clearing!

CameraGuy: good work today/yesterday guys. You no doubt worked hard and I'm sure bed felt really good! Take care;stay safe - Jerry

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!

That footage at the end was lovely. I can't even imagine what it is like to have snow let alone that much !!! ( Aussie girl here ). After all the hard work you put into your garden just to have it freeze over is just mind blowing. I admire you heaps. Keep up the great work and videos.

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 ;)

Sending prayers your way. It's no easy task keeping up on that! I'm from ND so we're used to that much snow and we've been hammered this year too.

Hi Laura and Aaron I keep watching your videos. I absolutely love them. You guys are absolutely Amazing. I wish I was 30 years younger. I don't know how you do it. I'm glad there weren't any serious injuries in the video So much snow, so much destruction. Hope all goes better this year in 2019. No more 900 PM shoveling rooftops. Benjamin loves you. And so does Russell.

This came up in my suggestions on the first day of summer, 2018. My how our lives change! Looking forward to more videos. Thanks for sharing!

This Texas gal does not like being COLD n stuck in the Haus.😲 I LOVE CYCLAMENS! So great for Winter. Beautiful colors to brighten up gloomy gray days 💮🌻🌸

i really like the vlog type videos btw :) not boring at all!! you have a dream job, would love more day in the life kind of videos to see what you work on day to day :)

Your never boring, so sorry you are having so much snow and damage. Love it when my phone tells me you have a new post. Hang in there this all will go away and spring will come. 💗🌸💗

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. 👍

Good luck you two!!! It's so sad to see all the destruction in your town, hopefully the snow will stop soon, be careful 🌼🌸🌺🌹🌷

Your land is so beautiful. I love Aaron's drone work !

Thanks for sharing! So sorry that you and you're family are going thru all that. Keep us updated if you can! :-) Praying for you and your family!! :-) Stay warm!!

Just love you guys....just found your channel and I have been binge watching like crazy. Hope you have a better winter with less snow. I live in N Cal and we have been having tremendously hot weather, 116 range. Thanks to you I have a newfound excitement for gardening. Haven't been really great at it, but with your help am excited to try again.

Thanks for sharing, all that snow makes for a lot of work and problems, but the end shots of your property is no denying it's also beautiful. Your property looks so beautiful covered in white! Stay safe & warm

I love watching your vlogs. I hate that you guys are getting as much snow as you are and I hope it eases off! But nonetheless, I still love when you bring us along anywhere.

Oh please, please be safe Laura! I'm glad you found a ladder though. I think the drone footage was so pretty. Your house & property is gorgeous! 🌾Merry meet 🌿

so nice to see dexter safe and warm inside the house 🐈🐈.. i love all your videos... 😊☺

Wow! Coming from the UK I understand what you mean about places that get overwhelmed by even a hint of snow 😉 The drone shots at the end are beautiful, thank you Aaron 😊

Oh Laura and Aaron my heart goes out to you guys and your family!!! Your poor town!!! You are all in my prayers. You both are such troopers! You both must be so exhausted! You both shine with the love of Christ! I give thanks for your godly examples! Hang in there, Yeah, heat cables are a great investment Laura! We've been hammered with snow down here in Southern Utah, but not near as much as you guys! I can only imagine how difficult it is to remove all that snow!!! Hey Aaron, great aerial view of all your hard work!!! You two are so blessed to have each other! You make such a great team ;)

It's part of home ownership. Helps us grow. You're doing an awesome job. Thanks for sharing.

If it's any consolation we've just had snow here near the capital of New Zealand. In the middle of summer.

I've never seen snow before! its incredible to see this amount and what u guys have to deal with in winter! amazing

It's def not boring! Do more if you can, praying for your area! Stay warm and dry, sending you humidity and sunshine from Houston!

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.

so sorry to hear about the buildings. I hope nobody got hurt. I was so over the snow too! it was just way too much😣 a lot of our snow had just started to melt and the temp went up a bit and some melted but the remnants of the major fall is still around. I hope it's getting better for you guys! xo

So glad that you guys are OK, thinking warm thoughts for you.

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.

Such a beautiful property... Hang in there, spring is coming!

Wow..I live in Australia..it's our summer so we are sweltering at the moment!...this will be an experience to talk about in years to come..best wishes getting through it all.

sending warm weather thoughts your way! I enjoyed the day in the life style video! I hope you all stay safe!

Thank you for the update, was wondering how you were doing. Keep us updated.

Omg… I can’t even comprehend this!! I’m in Western Australia and we don’t get snow. Our winter is water. That’s it. But holy crap!! You literally had mountains of snow EVERYWHERE! Buildings falling down. What the!!! I wish you’d recorded even more. Just for those that have never seen snow or had to deal with it as you guys have. Absolutely crazy!

We're in Ontario, Canada--have snow like this every winter! It's nice to know we're not the only ones!! Love your program..............E.

Your hair looks fabulous thru all that now shoveling! Very thankful for my life in TX - no way I can shovel snow from a roof!

You are such a hard worker that you guys deseved all the goodies that is getting to you. It looks amaizing

All this will soon be a distant memory! Keep strong and be careful!!! No more falling off roofs!!! Really hope this is all over soon! Loved this little snap of your life :)

I can't wait for this summer and to see some aireil shots. You all are in my prayers

Enjoyed your video here in the NORTH EAST we see these types of storms all the time be careful and think Spring and yes flowers are a good thing

I'm so sorry you got so much snow. We used to get snow like that here in IL when I was a kid, 50 yrs ago. But now our winters are usually pretty mild, though bitterly cold. We were "supposedly" the coldest place on the planet at one point last year...-78 degrees. I hope that pattern -- light snow only -- reaches your area soon. Blessings.

that is an insane amount of snow! good luck with the snow removal! Bring on the Spring!!

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

I like to watch this style of videos you guys do while I cook dinner. Your voice is so calm.

Just beautiful! I live in C.S Colorado. We get a little snow but nothing like this. I love the snow but then I do not have to shovel it. 🤗 I always enjoy your videos. Never boring. lol lee

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. I live in Australia and we have the same summers as you do there but nothing like the winters... so jealous!! Loved seeing your everyday life and convos you have. Cant wait to see what your winter looks like this year.

WOW. So sorry for you all. As much as you love your flowers you would really love living in a warmer state I enjoy your videos. I have been watching on a regular bases. Love Love flowers From indiana

Crazy how something so pretty can cause so much damage.😳 love the drone video! Your property is amazingly beautiful even covered in white!

Wow, I can't imagine. ( San Diego is my home) You all are so very strong & capable !!! Be proud

love seeing all that snow, I live in Queensland Australia and have never seen snow, so to me it looks gorgeous

Hey Laura love your videos and you are not over reacting, we live in Moncton New Brunswick Canada and we get snow but usually not over 12 inches but one winter in particular we got snow like that and a lot of people where not ready and roofs collapsed and a horse barn killing 3horses so stay safe be careful shovelling take breaks...you guys really need a snow blower any way just keep thinking spring Laura 🌺🌻💐🌸🌷

I'm a native Minnesotan so this is par for the course for us but very interesting to see how this type of snowfall would effect infrastructure in other parts of the country. We sometimes get 3 ft at a time and life is back to normal by the next day. I have a whole new appreciated for our dept of Transportation!!

Love your videos! They are never boring. Thank you for sharing.

Wow that's a lot of snow!! Lots of hard work. I'll try to send some Aussie heat over to u. Love the aerial view at the end. Beautiful!! Hope it starts to warm up soon. Thnx for sharing 💜💙💚

We live in Eagle, Idaho and I remember that year VERY well. We couldn't get out of our driveway for over a week!!! Yes, it was a lot of snow even for us.

Stay safe and warm! Reminds me of northern Michigan where we live! We live at the northern tip of Michigan and have a few snow storms like what you are experiencing. It can be a full time job 'dealing' with all aspects of it! Take care!❄️⛄️🌀

OMGoodness!!!! Praying for everyone, please be careful

Oh and the end shots with the drone was beautiful! :)

Good luck with everything. You live in such a beautiful area; even in winter it looks like wonderlful. Thank you for sharing, it was very informative.

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.

Love your Vlogs very interesting we get lots of snow here in Canada but not as much as you this year My heart & prayers go out to you , your family & town Thanks for sharing

My goodness so much snow, you guys stay safe and keep warm.

Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us, I am living in kingdom of Bahrain, in our country we don't have such snow, it is always sunny.

My thoughts are with you and your family. I'm in Twin Falls and we have had a record year also. Snow removal from our turn of the century house is super important too. Every time we get the majority off we get hit again. The worst part is my front yard and driveway. We live on the major street in town and the snow plows come through and build 3 ft. snow mounds blocking us in. Plus whatever mother nature gave us again. Shoveling is our life.

I really enjoy these video's you should do more of the "day in the life" it gives us insight to who you guys are and why do you what you do. Really enjoy all that you do!

This is crazy! We have gotten SO much rain in Indiana with crazy warm temperatures. Had it been cold, we'd have had the same problems of collapsing buildings and just not equipped for the quantity! Stay safe!

I don’t miss the snow. We lived in Illinois. Sad to not be able to see your beautiful gardens.

WOW! I just watched this in December 2023……what a mess to deal with. I certainly hope no person or animal perished during this time💝💝

Oh it is amazing the amount of snow you guys had, but to me it looks lovely not so much to you. Sad to see the amount of damage it has bought. It is nice to see a glimpse of your life. We are exhausted by the heat of summer at the moment. This year has been particularly hot and humid with very little rain in my little corner of northern NSW Australia, but can't complain it has been even hotter in other parts. Hope that it gets better for you real soon.

So enjoyed the video! Y'all please be careful with those ladders and the roof! So many terrible injuries every year with ladders. Very impressed with how much snow you two managed to get off so late in the evening! Your property is so beautiful from the air! Know you must love it and feel blessed! Can't wait to see the new projects you mentioned that are to come (succulents). I live in one of those places you talked about laughing at (NC) and we would love to have a bit of what you now have. Just rain here for now though. Take care of yourselves! God bless!

Thanks for sharing, good luck with the snow situation : )

WOW ! That is a lot of snow. I live in the UK and would LOVE for it to snow like that ....Take care
