Except for the destruction, it would be beautiful.
-
It was a terrible night. After the lights went out, I looked
outside with a flashlight and saw trees with ice chunks in the
branches as large as baseballs.
-
Throughout the night, large branches and whole tress fell, one
right after another. First there was the sound of wood cracking and
breaking. Then a treefull of ice would hit the ground or other trees.
It sounded like glass shattering.
-
One group of trees were uprooted by the weight of the ice.
-
They draped icy branches over my driveway.
-
My neighbors birch trees once again were drooped over.
-
The following day's display was eerie and spectacular.
-
The young white pines didn't have a chance.
-
Debris was everywhere.
-
Much of the railroad was spared.
-
But many branches needed to be cleared.
-
Some trees had to be cut down.
-
The young pines just needed a little help.
-
There were branches and ice chunks everywhere.
-
The bridge ties looked like piano keys with a thick ice coating.
-
Here's our power like hanging from the pole...
-
... and in the street. Traffic was driving over it.
