Holy cow on the branches. We visited one of our kids in Stillwater the day after that ice storm. We were there for a week and saw no one removing branches except to push them off the sidewalks. I know it was widespread damage, as we saw it in OKC and Tulsa as well. What's the holdup reasoning? Pandemic labor issues, lack of funds? Just curious, as whenever we have widespread damage like that, it's usually gone in a couple weeks.
Our snowfall yesterday after the coating of ice made a very similar scene. Not much accumulation in total. A nice coating everywhere. It's just started to fall off the branches as the temps are 34 now. I'm letting it melt the cars off instead of scraping.
It's gotten so that whenever there's an ice storm or hurricane predicted anywhere on the eastern seaboard, I see fleets of bucket trucks with Canadian plates headed south down the interstate. A few weeks later I'll see fleets of bucket trucks with Canadian plates headed north toward home.
