Well looks like here in the Appalachians were going from fall cleanup to heavy snow removal and with all the leaves on trees after this mess will have to get the chainsaws out for storm cleanup. Probably end up losing power for a while. Not how I want the snow to start. Every year all these idiots have to learn how to drive in the snow again. They will be wrecking everywhere. But 1-2 feet of snow is bad
I got gusts over 50 mph already wonder when not if but when I will be losing my power this time. The trees have shed most of their leaves here I got many that are bare and some with a few and the stronger trees oak and beech my beloved hemlocks still seem to be holding a lot of them but the maples and tulips are bare. A few of my shorter trees have some so this is gona be a rough day I have 4 acres 2.5 of them are wooded and then I am surrounded by woods on top of that so I literately have 1000s of trees here and some will not be here tomorrow.
Hope you arelucky and the power stays on. We have about 2 inches of snow right now and it looks like the power lines are holding it all along with the trees. Hopefully it will warm up a bit and it falls on down or we will be in the dark with ya
Not sure how I have power but the lines on my house were ripped off 2 hours ago I got a 4 ton tree between my 2nd and 3rd poll that is cutting the drive way in half and the lines are on the ground. So I got power but I am stranded worse is yet to come they say 8-10 pm here.

Here in Central Pa, it's getting scary 50- 60 mph winds and cold rain right now. Tomorrow is gonna be worse. Im not gonna bother going back out to work till the wheather is calm again. No point in getting hurt. We were gonna start leaf cleanup today. Still have 50 leaf cleanups to do. It's gonna be wet and sloppy for awhile. Try to be safe everyone and don't worry about work right now. I wish you guys on the coast lines well and hope you guys are safe.
Take care and stay safe to all you guys on the east coast. I wish you could send some of the rain down to the east coast of Australia. Grass is rapidly turning brown. No decent rain since July.

Be careful with those lines. I had the same thing happen last year and CL-P won't fix it, they'll only kill your power and you need an electrician to come re-connect the assembly to your house before they'll put the line back up. Same goes for ATT or whoever you have cable/telephone with
Calling for 12-20" here in Frostburg. Got a couple inches already Bunch of trees down already winds are crazy, and they say the worst is yet to come. Be safe everyone. Posted via Mobile Device
yea think its gona be a pain in the ass to get all that fixed went through that once before. And each utility wants you to call them and set it up in a specific order that no one tells you. But the cable 2 phone lines and the power lines are ripped down in some way or another. Had this storm happened in August with the leaves still on the trees I think the damage her would of been 10 fold.
7.5" and counting.... wet and heavy. The power has flickered twice. Sometimes it sucks having a wife that has to take call 24x7. But that's why they make Jeeps and studded tires!
Oh ya... know exactly where you are at. We have a few down that way, but are mostly from Princeton up to White Sulphur Springs and down to Pearisburg all the way back to Welch.
In Buffalo, NY we had this storm in October 6 years ago, with the snow. It was BAD...I didn't have power for over 9 days. Could not get down my street for over a week, I had to drive over huge trees with my truck (thank god I had a lifted truck at the time)...This was all before I was in the landscaping business otherwise I would have been making some good money. I feel for you guys in WV, VA, CT, MD and wherever else is getting pounded right now. Just hang in there and be safe!
Anyway, in Buffalo right now it is a pretty steady wind with heavy rain. Supposed to get much worse as the night wears on.
