Just cleared the driveway. Sounds like a war zone with trees and branches cracking all over the place. I lost a lot of trees, this storm was no joke. It's still snowing albeit very lightly.
Still no power either.
I just measured 10.5" on my deck in northern Calvert. It's already consolidated a bit though. Luckily wind has basically disappeared with only light snow now. Gonna have to tackle the driveway soon.
Just lost a 20yr old river birch. Also a large Holly tree literally just uprooted and fell over. I cant even go outside to enjoy it because branches are falling left and right and I'd be afraid for my safety. In terms of destruction this is the worst storm I've had since I lived here since 2004. Even the derecho had fewer trees down.
Power still down too.
I'm right off the western shore in Calvert and our power has been down for almost an hour now. Also just heard multiple large explosion sounds which I'm guessing must be large tulip trees cracking as we don't have any large transformers around us. It's startling how loud they are.
There's some lecture in there about knowing your Climo and putting your house up for sale to move to a snowier Climo but I totally understand and feel your pain. It totally sucks. Sometimes youre the fly and sometimes youre the windshield.
