Yesterday was gorgeous. Clear, 71 deg. Today we’ve had some snow showers, but nothing accumulating. The mountains outside my front door have completely disappeared into the clouds.

The tropical storm force winds last week were impressive, but didn’t do much damage. Although my son in Louisville lost all of the food in their refrigerator as the power company shut off the power for 36 hours to prevent wildfires. About a dozen small ones started when the power was turned back on, but didn’t spread as the winds had died down.

But the 20” of very heavy wet snow we had a couple of weeks ago was the real eye opener. There was a huge amount of damage to the pine trees all around our community. Limbs down everywhere. They are still cleaning up piles of branches.
