Default I hate ice storms

:XX
Not as bad as it could have been, but I love my privacy and some of my older pines lost some serious branches last night. I estimate around 1/4" or build up. Anyone else?

Sorry about that. About 12 years ago, my NY house suffered a similar fate. Almost all the trees on one side creating privacy were heavily damamged. I hope yours don't suffer anymore damage.

We have stayed above freezing here so no real damage.

Just rain here. It is amazing what just a few miles can do to the weather. Look on the good side Tim, I know what you can do with some of your free time.

Strange when I looked at your pictures it reminded me of DCL and then I looked at the location and was pleasently surprised. My wife and I have been looked for a house up there for over a year. Unfortunetly we have not found one that meets the criteria. How long have you been up there? How do you like it? Are you more water than ski person or vice versa? What did you find out about it after you bought a place that you wished you had known?

Hey, what's that white stuff on the ground? You guys were laughing at us here in SoCal in October when we were "Burning Down the House." I guess it's almost 80 here today. . .

Ken, we've been here almost 2 yrs, after owning an condo here for 2 yrs before that. I'll send a pm and can provide the details.

We're up on the Wisp ski mtn, but best I can do is fall and find my way to the bar.

here's the new Cayman S from September this yr, then last year with the 89 C4 in the snow, and the now 2yr old buck hand fed but too close for comfort...what I like best is there are only 12 stop lights in all of Garrett county.
