The sun came out briefly to shine on the ice coating on all of the trees. Chainsaws will be buzzing this spring, for sure.
D and I walked to the park. We saw firetrucks, firemen dealing with downed wires, town trucks scurrying around. A rough day. The trees are beautiful, but it comes at such a steep price when limbs (or entire trees) fall
We watched the branches on this tree; areas of ice would suddenly fall (loud crackling, cascading crashing sounds).
My neighbor now has part of a tree in his bedroom. He said the whole house shook as if there were an earthquake (the tree roots literally heaved up out of the ground as the tree fell. ) Then there was a prolonged loud noise -- hundreds of icicles hitting his house (falling off the tree branches) and the eventual crash when the tree hit the house. He has no power and can't even contact a human at the power company.

Scarey and beautiful all at the same time. It's supposed to warm up Sunday and I hope it all melts.
