    Too early, too early!! :!: Trees and limbs down everywhere. Had to chainsaw my car out from under a big limb that fell (car has few more dimples but otherwise okay). I'm mentally prepared for snow to start in November, not October!! Who's with me?! :x

    Local road. One that's not blocked.

    That is such a beautiful picture! I know. It's pretty if you are in the south. But it is.

    It's melting, which is a good thing, but despite all the snow and the high wind yesterday, most of the leaves are still on the trees. A lot of the trees in my neighborhood still have green leaves! We have about ten inches of snow.

    Yes, it's beautiful, especially when the sun comes out and the background is a bright blue sky. The timing of this storm, so early in the season, is what made it so bad. Its akin to a snow storm in May when the trees are just beginning to leaf out. I'm surprised by the number of roads partially blocked by falling limbs and such.

    it is beautiful and certainly unexpected. it's sad, at the same time, that it was so dangerous to those who lost their lives.

    Did you get the heavy wet snow? Ours was saturated, really bowing down tree limbs and bushes. My lilac, which stands about ten feet tall, was completely bent over but popped back up after I dug it out.

    Glad to see, it seems, that you didn't get the breakage!

    We got a foot of snow and lost power Saturday night. No estimate yet when it will go back on. We do have hot water and a gas cooktop so it could be worse.
