Christmas in October?

Been snowing here since this morning.

I just saw a news story that more than 2.2 million customers are without electrical power in the northeast. That can be very serious when it's either very hot or very cold. And with that many outages I'm sure it'll take some time to restore power.

Here's hoping that everyone affected by the severe weather remains safe. Please be careful. And this comes from the bottom of my Heart.:tractor:

I do not want to sound mean but, I hope you folks get all the snow this winter!

I only got 6" but still have power. I am hopeful for the millions without power
they can be re-powered soon. This is a time when a woodstove and wholehouse generator make getting through the outage a lot easier.

Be safe.

I just came in from pushing it all out of the way. Not the snow, but rather the broken branches. We have two very mature sugar maples that really took a hit - like 50% of all branch tips broken off. I just pushed them all into a huge pile until the snow melts. Bad way to get firewood...

My big sugar maple already lost all it's leaves as well as the ash trees, so not much damage there but the oaks really took it bad, they still had 60% of their leaves. I have not even gone out there just what I can see from the window, I have alot of clean up to do. I also have monster evergreens 80-90 feet tall, don't see a single branch down under them, they're use to it I guess.

As far as those with out power, we never loose it except for a minute or 2. and I have all these plans on what to do with my pto genny when do loose it.

We do have the utility companies main headquarters in town, wonder if that has anything to do with it but probably our close proximity to the main transmission line which is a mile away.

I was thinking during the hurricane when there were so many without power 2 months ago, that if that happened in the winter people would be freezing to death in their homes. Since the temps are in the 40's daytime I don't think that will happen now, but it does feel cold, when I opened the door this morning it felt like an ice box with all the snow on the ground, not like a fall day.

We woke up to around two feet of heavy wet snow. It looks really clean around here with all of the leaves covered (LOL) Just too early to have this much snow fall. Just hope it is not a weekly affair

If it helps any, that is a pretty picture!
