Sometimes engineers just make it hard. It's our nature. LOL! I'm married to one and he always looks at the most difficult solution first. Has boggled my mind for 35 years! (and yes, I'm envoking bragging rights as to the longevity of my marriage. I've earned it! :D)

Probably harder selling solar panels in Alaska than air conditioners.

10%? Yes, so would the folks in Cordova.
100% and you can’t get the sled out of the shed.

I don’t know the area so it meant nothing to me.
and 300 lb/ft is a huge standard for snow load.
Wonder if Cordova typically gets less snow than Whittier AK?

No city can be expected to plan for that much snow. It would be like a Florida city being criticized for not planning for 200 inches of rain...

Cordova out of shovels as snow tops 15 feet So much for those "shovel-ready" projects Obama promised.
