My mother just got back into her house 2 weeks ago in time to lose power again.

By some miracle, I haven’t lost power (yet). But I’m sitting here trying to work and every couple of minutes it sounds like the house is caving in because the maple trees in the back yard (taller than the house) are full of heavy, wet and icy clumps of snow, and every breeze launches a snowball assault onto the roof and windows. So loud! Glad I don’t have any video meetings today. What an odd snowstorm.

My clothesline is thickly coated with snow, and that’s never happened before. Icicles, yes. But not actual snow.

It’s a heavy, wet snow that accumulates easily on trees. Our poor lilac tree had a couple of big branches break off this morning and was quite weighed down. I had to go out and shake some of the snow off.

Thanks for the reminder, Meezly. I went out and shook the snow off the clothesline. It was half ice and probably pretty heavy, so it was a good idea. It’s not easy to fix if the cord breaks.
