Well, I just came back from a little jaunt into our ongoing spring blizzard and experienced a near white-out at one point. We lost pole power early in the morning and have been on generator since. I can say with great confidence that I would much prefer a traditional April rain shower at this time of year.
As I write, my computer tells me that it’s 33°(F) with wind gusts (sometimes sleety) of 23 miles per hour in Brooklin. So far, we’ve got about four inches of snow on the ground here on the coast. As you see, it’s wet snow that can build up on tree branches and cause them to bend to the breaking point.
