My mom will watch the kiddo tomorrow for me while I go to work. Good grandma bonding time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 For all the naysayers about ice, this one delivered. Good winter storm. It's a pain though. Had to chainsaw through about a 50 footer for my neighbor earlier, had a 5 inch diameter ash limb fall and mutilate 2 knockout rose bushes, and smaller limbs and branches all over the place. I ain't cleaning it up until the snow melts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of trees down already ...at least some melting was able to happen before winds picked up. Good news, all melted here earlier today. There is a lot of tree damage around town, it rivals 2/5/2010. Cherry Blossoms account for about 50% of it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhotoGuy Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I wonder how different the effects up North and West would have been if it was not for the heavy wet snow that stuck to the trees a couple days ago? I assume there wouldn't be as much tree and power line damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
