October Snowstorm
We were not expecting to have the season’s first blizzard before Halloween.
It started innocently enough.
Then it snowed harder and harder.
By late afternoon we had a full-blown Nor’Easter. It’s awful to have wet, heavy snow while the trees still have their leaves, particularly given how wet the ground has been — there’s just too much weight. I spent a good chunk of the evening pushing snow out of trees with a rake.
When we woke up, we had at least eight inches of snow and no electricity. Still, it was very pretty.
Del Wolcott and Chuck Kelsoe came over to help us get the generators started.
Now we’ll have to clean up the mess.
