| | Re: ...lucky again... Wow! that was a close one. We got the winds last night (all night). At midnight the temperature was a around 50 degrees, the winds came 40 to 60 mph, and the temperature was 10 degrees this morning. Must be part of the global warming trend..

| | Re: ...lucky again... cats pa...ouch!!! hope that wasn't your vehicle!
...well it only took 2.5 hours to clean up in 20 degrees temps w/ a wind gusting to 45...top gust when the tree went down was 72 mph...
...feb, naw I don't want that much, hopefully your not on Tug Hill, although they are talking a mixed bag for tomorrow including ice (what the heck I still have 12 other trees...)
...Bart, I am considering some Lindenwood(Basswood) trees, my neighbor has some beautiful ones and since they are closely related to the maple they grow well in this soil... |

| | Re: ...lucky again... Its also fortunate that the bent antenna was on the rear and not the front of the car. Must have been a mighty wind. looks like a big sturdy tree. Glad there was no serious damage.
