Today\'s surprise

Last night I was out clearing the drive, even though they predicted another 6" of snow overnight. Had family coming today from out of town and I wanted as little mess for them to get through as I could. Suddenly it turned to freezing rain....
Woke up this morning as usual, perked the coffee, showered and went to wake the wife. She had been in the bed listening to the radio before she got up.
"Honey, you can't go to work, we're under a Level 3 snow emergency, no driving today". "What?? Let me go turn the TV on and see for myself". POOF all lights go out. AT least I have a pot of coffee.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Well she was correct, but according to the radio they downgraded it to Level 2. Have to go to work /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
As I'm dressing, a coworker calls, all non-essential employees stay home. Boy today am I ever glad to be UN-essential.
Once daylight hit, I looked and saw this.......

Looked out back.......
This limb fell straight down and was still standing. Dead limb from a maple tree.

42' evergreen.......I have no idea what kind, but it grew in twin trunks from 1 root ball. One half fell across the yard, the other across the dirveway. I couldn't have gone to work if I wanted to.
