Default Re: Just a flurry....

8 inches of snow here. Had to go out in the middle of the storm with a 20 foot pole to shake the snow off of our willow trees. These are 50 footers with branches bent all the way to the ground under the weight of the snow. You had to stand back as the snow fell off to avoid being catapulted into the sky. While i was outside i could hear and see all the neighbors trees shattering and fallng down. I was an eerie sound. Had to cut up a lot of broken branches for firewood.

Never lost power on our block but the next street over is still without power. We lost cable and internet, so the kids now know what it was like to live in ancient times like the 1980s.

They are on their second day of no school due to power outages.

Nothing like going out for Halloween in the snow. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
