It has been an entertaining phenomenon to watch--and to listen to. The first time one of the big curls of snow fell off the house, I thought that our dogs had crashed into and broken some of our furniture. It took us a while to realize what had made the noise. We've admonished the boys to not play under them just in case another section decides to slide down even though it's supposed to get colder for the next few weeks. We are still a little concerned about the side that hangs over the dogs' area as they like staying under the overhang.
