Awful heavy wet snow overnight
« on: February 13, 2024, 08:30:43 am »
Lost some trees again from the weight of the snow. Have a birch tree on the side of the house that is bent over in a 'U'. Lost 3 trees, 2 missing the house by inches, especially the one on the south side of the house. Haven't lost power yet but preparing as I heard trees snapping and cracking down the road and winds are supposed to pick up.  Lost power for a few seconds 4 times already. Not that much snow, just the heavy and wet. Looks like only 4" out there. Temperature already up to 39 from 33 this morning.

Sad about the trees. We planted them when we built this house 31 years ago. Our picnic grove on the hill has lost almost every tree except for a few walnuts over the past year from weather and Emerald Ash Borer that killed them all. :( :( :(

Sorry to hear that you lost trees.  Glad they did not hit your house.  I live in North Carolina.  We have not had snow, just a lot of wind.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your trees, especially ones that have been part of your home for so long. It's always heartbreaking to see the impact of severe weather and pests on the landscape. Losing trees can change the look and feel of a property and bring up memories of when they were first planted. It's important to stay safe during these conditions, especially with the threat of falling trees and power outages. Hopefully, the damage is minimal, and you're able to find some solace in the remaining trees and the memories they hold. If you need any assistance or support, don't hesitate to reach out.

That sounds devastating — especially losing trees you've had for over 30 years. It’s heartbreaking how heavy, wet snow can do so much damage in just a few hours. Glad to hear the trees missed your house, but I can imagine the cleanup is overwhelming.

In our area (Port Kells), we’ve had similar storms, and I ended up calling a snow removal Port Kells crew to help clear the driveway and fallen branches. It made things much safer, especially with more snow and wind expected. Hope you're staying safe and warm — and that the rest of the trees hold strong.
