c-series don 8,688 #28 Posted April 4 I’m on the east end of Long Island, I don’t recall it being this windy in perhaps a few years. Had a large tree limb come down in my backyard earlier. Rain coming down in buckets. This is a serious storm. As a volunteer firefighter I pray that we don’t get called out tonight. Got the wood stove cranked up in case we lose power, we’ll still be warm. Temperature is about 40 degrees. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,422 #29 Posted April 4 We lost power about 3:30. Been hearing some very loud cracks outside. I assume branches breaking. Last check about 5 AM we had a strong 7 inches of wet snow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,422 #30 Posted April 4 Got some pics about 6:30 AM. Just measured 9"+ on the side deck. These branches almost touching the ground are usually about 7 ft up. I'm fairly sure theres a driveway here. Also fairly sure there's a barn that direction. Backyard. Note the fence. I've never seen this fence that stuffed with snow. The tree about center is a red oak. Touching the ground. Normally I can walk under it. This is gonna be a tough one. I'm happy we've planned well. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,565 #31 Posted April 4 Looks like some really wet heavy stuff. I cleared the end of the driveway & 6" of slop that we got off the side walks. As for the rest - Mother Nature put it there, she can get rid of. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The folks we rebuilt the Workhorse for have at least 5 medium to large trees down. They've already said we could process and take those. There are several DOZEN roads closed around Maine now. As of 9:20 AM there are nearly 290,000 power outages reported. This will be several days to a full restoration. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These springtime heavy wet snowfalls are good for felling trees. Heavy rain across the Hudson Valley on top of already saturated soils put a lot of extra water into the rivers. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
87 416-8 horse 420 #40 Posted April 4 Here in Eastern Nebrasks it so dry that the ground is cracking and the other day was a red flag. I'll take some of your snow down here 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It slid down along the angle of the metal roof and gently to the ground. There's no obvious damage but it's certainly too snowy to tell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
