October Snow Storm

The first snow storm of the year was in October this year! On October 29th, we got 3-4 inches of snow. Not a ton of snow generally, but since none of the trees had lost their leaves, they couldn't handle it.

Here's the view from our front door.

And a close up of a tree out front that lost about half of its branches.

Good thing the cars weren't parked behind the garage.

Some trees out back.

This one completely uprooted :(

The 4 Dogwoods out front that looked like somebody smashed them into the ground.

As it got darker and colder, CJ preferred to sit in the warm car while mommy and daddy continued to shake the heavy snow off the trees.

Back inside with no power, staying warm by the fire.

And having diner by candlelight.

And the next day there were still a lot more branches to clean up.
