I lost five trees yesterday close to the house, plus many more in the woods with this newest storm after losing four big trees during the hurricane. Guessing they were weakened, then broke from the weight of the snow. Lost power for 15 hours after going just over five days without it during the first storm. Definitely not a fun last ten days and I am one of the really lucky ones here in NJ. Not a single thing damaged, amazing with all the stuff we have here.

During last year's hurricane, we had one tree on the entire property fall, hit my dad's old pickup truck parked way on the back of the property, although the tree took the worst of the clash. 1984 Dodge Snow Commandos are apparently tough trucks
