Christmas in October?

10/29/11 and snow. I had no idea it would come down like this. Better get out the kubota b3200!

How much are you getting Critter ? looks like we could get a foot of the heavy wet stuff, that with the leaves still on the trees will be special ! Was thinking about putting the blower on the tractor but guess I'll hold off for now !

It has been snowing all day. We live in the woods and are surrounded with the sounds of trees creaking, groaning and breaking under the weight of all that snow. Bad thing is that there is no place on our property to put the vehicles that can't be touched by a falling limb. So we put them near the youngest- and hopefully strongest trees.

It's crazy, was not supposed to change to snow til 5 or 6pm. Started 5 hours early so I think it is gonna be bad.

Picture out my dining room window, 2pm 10/29/11. Yes that's a rose in bloom outside.

Been snowing since early this morning here in NEPA and still is. I did not have a chance to mark my driveway... hope I don't tear my grass when I plow later. Not ready yet for snow...

Christmas in October? I thought Walmart and Home Depot were sure putting up their Christmas decorations awfully early, but maybe they knew something.:laughing:

Yup I was in HD yesterday and was shaking my head over all the Christmas stuff already out. I'm about to turn on my Christmas lights on, which I was to lazy to take off a 15 ft tall tree in front of the house, from last Christmas

But this Storm is really no laughing mater, massive tree damage already, much worse than from the hurricane, alot of damage in my little patch of woods. Wires down and streets blocked all over town. 500,000 people without power as of 6pm here in CT

Yeah, JB, the Christmas comment was a bit of a laughing matter, but the storm certainly is not. I hope everyone makes it through the storm alright.

At least a couple have not already, 2 deaths attributed to storm Alfred so far, according to the news.

I know for sure you meant no ill will.

Mike above mentioned the trees cracking and groaning all around him. I read that before I went outside. When I did go out, that's exactly what I heard as well. tried going out in the woods to see what sounded like a tree going down but ended up running for cover when branches started cracking overhead.

The amazing thing is there was only an inch or so of this wet snow on the trees, so it has to be due to the leaves still being on the trees, because we often have much more snow than that in the trees in the winter without this much damage.
