This is amazing. The amount of snow is going to be very difficult to deal with. I was watching them truck it out of old town yesterday! At our house, we lost an entire row of cedar trees. The first tree got bent over slightly and the snow just piled on to it. As it bent over, it took the next one and thus crushed the next 4 trees. They aren’t huge trees so the main danger was that we would lose our FIOS service as the trees are leaning on the cable. If FIOS would have gone out, we would have lost TV and internet. That just wasn’t an option…:) They are still leaning but we did shake the snow off. Our neighbor lost the top out of a beautiful magnolia tree. Sorry Dave!
Sarah and I made two circuits of our neighborhood yesterday to take in the scenery. It was beautiful but my job on the Council is never far away: all I could think about was how much the cleanup will cost! Our snow budget was pretty well wiped out by the “Storm of Century” that we had a couple of weeks ago. We’ll have to go into contingency or the fund balance (savings account) to pay for this latest conflagration. There’s just no gettin’ around it.
