Snowicane 2010

The before picture. This is what my front yard looked like when I bought my house. Below is what it looks like in the midst of our double whammy snowstorm dubbed: Snowicane 2010! Note how high the branches for the crabapple tree are off the ground.

Two feet of snow at the house and my front lawn is a sea of dead branches, mostly from this old tree which, conveniently enough, is right over the power lines to the house. Fun!



This is my crabapple tree, bending precariously into my driveway and blocking the cars from leaving. Mike and I had to trim the crap out of it just to clear the area. Some of the branches cracked but didn't break off completely. That's gonna be a bitch.



Just so you can see how much snow is in the yard, here is my BBQ and the patio furniture. I hope there is some Carson's in the freezer!



This is the basketball hoop in my driveway. The snow is a slam dunk! Also across the street is the dutch colonial that Mrs. Ashton used to own but now my scientist neighbors have bought and are remodeling. Love that house!
