Over MLK Weekend, we had a huge storm in Connecticut. Rather than getting a lot of snow, we had only a few inches of snow, followed by A LOT of freezing rain. The rain covered absolutely everything and took down a lot of limbs. We suffered some of the worse storm damage we've had in years, starting early Sunday morning when a huge limb fell in the backyard. A few hours later, another limb fell, missing our generator by inches. For the next twenty four hours or so, with high winds and temps below zero, several limbs hung on our roofs, dragging and scraping while we held our breath, hoping we wouldn't lose any more limbs, especially near the generator. We never lost power, although so many homes around us did. We ended up coming through it with no damage to house, thankfully, but it was a scary couple of days.
Just barely missing the generator.
Everything was encased in ice.
Beautiful sunset on Sunday night.
The temperature when Emily and I left for her soccer tournament on Monday morning. We've had this thermometer for more than ten years and this is the first time it's ever registered a negative reading. We think it was probably closer to -5.
