In the cold dark light of a winter's morning

Fortunately we had only a small blackout, but the backyard is covered with downed trees and broken branches: less snow fell here than, say, even a few miles over in Winchester, but what we got was wet crystallized lead. My aunt and uncle in Pennsylvania have been without power for a day.

Yikes, that's exactly what I was worried about with our trees here - most of them still have their leaves. We managed to dodge that bullet by a couple of degrees: all we got was rain. I'm sorry your trees were damaged.

We lost two locust trees, but fortunately the lilac unbent once the snow was off it and the pine is only missing branches. Still. October. Yeesh.
