The October Surprise

On the evening of Thursday,Oct12,2006 it snowed.
Trees still had all their leaves. The snow was wet,
heavy and significant. The snow stuck to the leaves
the branches could not support the weight. Crashing
to the ground, limbs and trees brought powerlines
with them. We were without power for a week. Every
tree on our street was damaged by this storm. I
would guess every tree in Buffalo was damaged.

This should be the worst storm of the year... at least as far as the trees are concerned.
The weak trees are gone. The strong trees have lost their weakest limbs.
The survivng trees should be able to take what ever comes next with very little trauma.
That was our experience after getting hit with three hurricanes two years ago.
