Friday night we got hit with the first real storm of the winter weather season – our area of NY got nailed with freezing rain and an ice storm that left many trees down and many people without power. we are fortunate to still have power, especially given the large number of old trees in our neighborhood. on our property, three pine trees lost fairly large sections from the top, and one silver maple at the back of our property is pretty much gone. no damage to anything other than the trees though, so we are thankful. below you can see some pictures from our yard, taken this afternoon. click on them to see a larger version in my Picasa albums.

we are fortunate – we did not lose power and no trees fell on our house (although if they had, we could have gotten a new roof!!)… there are many many people in our area without power/heat/phone etc, and it will still be a few days before power is restored to a lot of them unfortunately.
