First Snow Full of Fractures




A serious winter storm hit last night as we were coming home from a wedding reception. The flakes were big enough to wrap up in by a cozy fire. In the early hours distinct cracking from overburdened branches could be heard.

Our beautiful Imperial Pear tree lined street looked like a tornado went through. Weight from the wet snow on the slow leaf droppers affected one or many of every homeowner's trees. Some split in half and others escaped with only a few downed branches. Although beautiful at first light the damage was sad to see. Our air cooling tree friends took the brunt of the storm, especially the Willows.
