But, upon parking his big vehicle on the hill with the brakes set, he didnt figure on the power of the sun which apparently melted the snow and started the conveyance on its descent into the front of the Mitchell home. Fortunately only the front portion of the porch was damaged and the vehicle was unscratched. Houghton County Sheriffs Deputy, John Gasperich, Dodgeville, is seen investigating the accident.
