While I had heard of severe storms over the weekend in the upper mid-west, new england, and southern canada, it wasnāt until this evening that I saw a couple articles and videos of the aftermath.
Hang in there!
Iām glad that you guys are stabilized and can now do welfare checks on neighbors.

Hopefully it warms enough, with some sun today to melt some of the ice before the Wednesday mess arrives. What a mess Sir. 
Glad you can do what you are. Iām sure someone will need some assistance. Stay safe.

Wow, sorry, that has changed the landscape.
Your video really shows how blocked the road to your house was. So many trees had to be chopped!

Thatās insane! Unreal how it just snaps the branches off the trunk as well as bringing them down. What happens to all that dead branch stuff after a coupe of years? We get huge forest fires here because of all the dead dry stuff on the forest floor. Hope youāre in a wet enough area that it rots quicklyā¦

Yāall definitely getting a large dose of weather this spring. Itās been a crazy weather pattern in the central US bringing huge rain, tornados, blizzards, and lemon sized hail in some places. Hopefully this pattern will switch for you soon.
