cygnusx1 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Â I'm back on the grid!! Â Thursday 6pm to Sunday 3pm without juice. Â They got it fixed ahead of schedule! Â The problem we have, is that the terrain is steep, and the woods are dense and jungle like. Â We don't see this kind of snow often and the trees are not conditioned for it. Â They can't handle the loads. Â We also tend to get ocean warmed snow which is very wet and sticky. Â It sticks to EVERY little branch and then freezes in place. Â Thankfully, this storm didn't end with a cold front, which would have easily toppled about 50% of the mature trees. Â The winds were almost dead calm, and we lost power for that long. Â Had there been a breeze it would have been much worse. Up the right side of this photo is a driveway that goes up the hill. Â Can you see it?

MAG58 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's finally starting to thaw in the mid-west. Sort of. I'm pretty excited to come out of hibernation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusx1 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 We are not expecting anything! We have birth control in the form of a 3 year old that runs like a Nuclear Reaction run a muck. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
