Too much snow.


You must be kidding! :D Are you seriously considering this pathetic stuff falling from the sky a "snow", let alone "too much" of it? :P Do you remember the winter of 1996-97, by any chance? That roof was completely covered by at least a foot of snow (I'm pretty sure it was more than that), and they were hosing it down -- it was an interesting sight! :)
BTW, they were saying on the news today that it was a "controlled deflation" after someone spotted a tear in one of the panels -- they decided to release the pressure instead of taking a chance of that tear getting larger and letting the roof collapse on its own... The replacement panel is expected to arrive within a week, and the roof is supposed to be fixed before some trade show starts at the stadium three weeks from now...

Not at all Shell, how did you read that into my post?
All I meant was it must have made a loud noise like a large ballon deflating.

Yeah, it's been there for 23 years and one fart makes it collapse... Shit, I my body collapses every time I let some air out, I would be as good as a storage roll-up bag.

I've just realized you left me a message back on Dec 26. I don't carry around my cell phone if I am not working. Forgot to forward it to the house ! Duh !

Will call you today.
