1st snow of the year

[woods]

Yeah, when you live in the middle of nowhere like I do, a gen is almost a must. The power goes out pretty often. Not for too awful long though. I think the longest was around 12 hours.

We had 10-12" of wet heavy snow on October 29-30 that knocked out power at my place for 26hrs. I sure was thankful for my generator. Some didn't get their service back for 7 days!!! In October...in New Jersey?? I hope this isn't a sign of what's in store for the winter.
It was 60* yesterday and supposed to be 66* today. Mother nature is loosing her mind.

My sister is up from you in the Catskil's....didn't get there power back until Wed. after the big storm

We got about 6" from the October storm. Power went out on Saturday 10/29, back on Wednesday night. Had the woodstove and a single cord from the neighbor's genny.
Trees down everywhere!

14 years ago, on Oct. 25-26, we got 13" of heavy wet snow and ice. The leaves were still on most of the trees.
All over town it looked like this:

Flyboy, That's pretty much what it looked like in the NorthEast two weeks ago. Big mess. People were without power for more than a week. I think something like 2/3 of Ct. was without power at one time.
