That's right .. the weather predictors got this one right. Heavy snow..down trees, power lines you name it. This one hit the area harder than the tornado we had in the spring, harder than the earthquake from this summer and harder than the hurricane that brushed past us recently.
New Englanders are used to some tree damage, a crapload of snow (like last years 6-8 feet) and we ensure it becasue the rest of this stuff doesn't usually hit us.
Luckily I've been taking down trees in the yards the last few weeks and most of the bad stuff was gone. Also some of the questionable ones were thinned out and didn't have much left.
In Enfield we got 15inches of the wet slushy stuff that sticks to everything with leaves still on the trees. Now it looks like an war zone.. trees all over yards, houses and roads, power lines all over the place. And best of all, apparently the main feed for this town is sitting at the bottom of the river, which requires special crews to fix and ... they are 7 days away. Although some parts of town are being restored, clearly ...I'm a fan of the backup plan as it's bringing some stuff back online. Gas lines are pretty nuts..
Hoping to have power back in a week or less.
Got a couple pics of a tree or two in the yard. Keep in mind that I already took down most of the trees that were issues.

Back to my yard.. this tree was just cleaned of any branches that might have hit the house. And one of the main leads stripped a good amount off. This one is history soon as the tree won't recover.
Got a lot more tree time before it's winter to clean this up.
