Anybody here get hit by the east coast snowstorm?
Just wondering if anybody on the forum got hit, and how bad (or "good" if you like deep snows).

Re: Anybody here get hit by the east coast snowstorm?
I got about 9" at my house. Not enough if you ask me. I like the snow especially on a busy weekend as all the activities are canceled and I get to stay at home and enjoy the snow. Some ares around me got 14" but we did not get much wind and it was about 25 deg for a low.
Re: Anybody here get hit by the east coast snowstorm?
I've had a foot of snow earlier this month, -12F already this month, now a layer of ice on everything, and suppose to have another foot of snow by the time Saturday arrives.
Some icy pics
my scotch pine that planted I think in '93 is now topless
ice sculpture
love at first sight
green ash attempting suicide
bamboo laying down and taking a nap

Wait until it starts to melt and the bamboo begins throwing chunks of ice as it whips back upright.

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

Haven't had any snow yet, but sure have had the rain. They just said this is the wettest year on record. Just glad its not that cold here. We usually get the ice.

Lance, this is a family accessable forum! no topless pics allowed!
Re: Anybody here get hit by the east coast snowstorm?
I know, that's why I never actually showed the topless pine pic, just showed what it threw on the ground.

Re: Anybody here get hit by the east coast snowstorm?
I can't decide if a topless pine would get a non-family rating for nudity... or violence.
Those pictures actually cause me physical pain. We had a three day extra-cold snap, and stuff's damaged all over the place. But not that bad. Ouch.

good thing we don't have any close to the pathways.Wait until it starts to melt and the bamboo begins throwing chunks of ice as it whips back upright
kind of hard to tell, but I just assume by the time March comes around it'll all be dead above the ground. Keep expectations low works the best.What kind of leaf/culm damage so far on your bamboo?

my young princeton elm looks to be doing fine still, though you never know what you'll see.

So much water that the road to town was closed for a couple of days. Never had it to flood that much in the 30 years I've been here. Phone lines went down while I was trying to post this picture. Had right at 10 inches of rain. Glad it wasn't cold then, had a dusting of snow the morning the sun finally came out.

wow, glad I've never seen that amount of rainfall in a short time frame, hope to never see that. Was there any bamboo flooded, pics of any?

None of my bamboo was flooded. But the ground sure was wet. Couldn't get out to check on a the groves that I know of.
