October is usually a month of beautiful fall color, crisp mornings, ever shortening but clear and sunny afternoons and evenings by the fire. I was just a little surprised to see some wet snow coming down the week of October 9th but little did I expect that October 29th had an even bigger surprise in store. The weathermen predicted rain most of the day, turning into snow at about 4pm. It never happened...6:10am had heavy snow falling from the sky and it just kept coming! By ten am, the power was off and that't the last we saw our electric meter turn for a full week.
During the storm, I was talking for a bit on the phone to a friend in WI; she couldn't believe we were having such a storm, stating she viewed PA as being "in the tropics!" Needless to say, she got some very white photos of "life in the tropics" as soon as the power booted back up!
Good news is, we don't have any tree trimming to do this year, Mother Nature did an amazing job all on her own!
