Re: More weather

We're getting snow again this AM. Now we have a ground cover of snow, ice, snow. And the paper sez it will keep up like this until after Cmas. Last night we lost a fair-sized limb off one of the big incense cedars in the back yard and a neighbor's maple is now bending over the fence and touching down on our deck; it doesn't look like it's broken, however. Big limbs on one of the oak trees in the park across the street are bent to the ground. Some nearby areas have lost power. Our utilities are underground so with a little luck we'll be spared outages; it's no time to be without power.

You folks back east are as usual having a worse time of it. Here in So 
Cal the snow is pretty much melted - we had at least 10" - there are a
few spots left but it is supposed to rain today, that will be the end of it. It won't be quite so picturesque but at least when it's over there 
won't be a continual drip off the roof.  In addition to all the broken
tree limbs, we noticed another casualty while driving to work
today...there are loose Botts dots all over the freeway, no doubt the
snowplows took them out. Since California is pretty much bankrupt I'm
guessing it will be a while before those get replaced.
It is very windy with dark dark clouds now in advance of the rain.
We're supposed to see this same stuff for the rest of the week.
