So just came across a news story from Norway that the Bergin Line is closed until tomorrow due to snow (well, ok, an avalanche/drifts)!

(my improved translation below of item in link from Norwegian Broadcasting story above)

Bergensbanen closed until Wednesday due to snowdrifts​

The Bergen Line is closed between Hallingskeid and Myrdal from Monday evening because of snow drifts. Bane Nor (railway company - Rail North more or less direct translation) says the line will be closed until 4:00 PM Wednesday.
– There will be an update at 4:00 PM on Wednesday. The weather has been bad up there, with heavy winds, which has hindered work, said spokesperson for Bane Nor, Mari Rjaanes.
They thought at first that the slide covered an area of around 20 meters, but it turned out to be about 50 meteres.

When I saw the subject line, I first thought that the Bergen Hudson NJT light rail in New Jersey had problems from the recent snowstorm, which was weird, because moat of the snow was further south in Virginia.

Your translation almost perfect. Maybe this winter becomes just one snowstorm after another world wide..

Ouch.

Fix shed when it very windy,
Second remove snow from inside a shed, addition bonus is parts of the metal shed buried within the snow.

Update: Closed until 9:00 PM Friday - same link as above! Yoikes, that's a big bad snowfall!

And a new photo from NRK (Norsk Rikskringkasting - aka Norwegian Broadcasting), link below with a few more pics - the photos show what I'd call avalanches:

My translation program worked very well. Evidently an avalanche took out a steel avalanche shed. Was 50 meters wide.
