Disaster Area

Logging 2012 Style

Once the downed trees were cleared from the roadway they had to be dragged out of the way to be cut up. Here's one of the trees on that sorry journey.

Ice Storm Aftermath

Well, it's been thirteen days at home since the power went out. The generator was just fine, though, and power was restored nine days ago. The internet, well, that took all of those nine days to get fixed.

Thanks to the ice, we lost most of the deciduous trees on the property - dozens. Some will likely survive but with major damage. Looks like we also lost a bunch of fence to trees coming over from the neighboring forest land too. Well, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are some right now, from the morning after the ice hit:
