So we got out of the big snowmageddon with nothing but a dusting... and then our turn came. Not a lot of snow, but definitely more than the 2 inches they where thinking as of wednesday. And it was the heavy wet stuff.
It froze hard last night and branches are down everywhere, 1/3 of my town has been without power since lunchtime yesterday due to a main line going down. Main road through town is still blocked now while they repair it.
I went out yesterday and used the 20ft pole from the roof rake to knock the snow off as many low branches as I could on our ornamental trees and the large pine out back - good thing too as we still lost a couple big ones. The crash when a 20 ft branch came falling 50ft down off the pine 15 ft from me was a scare I wont forget for a while!
