It sounds like the East really got a doozy. Here in Colorado we had 9.5"
of wet snow last Wednesday and it pretty well melted off by Saturday. It
was a wet and heavy one like yours Auralie, where the trees got bent. I
cannot believe that the Honeylocust and ash still have their leaves on.

I am currently visting my folks in Indiana and their Honeylocust and ash have no leaves..go figure.
I guess it snowed another 9" at the house yesterday...but it was a dry snow so Greg only needed a broom to remove it.

Stay Warm
