Pic: major autumn snow storm!

IT'S TOO EARLY!

Parts of eastern Ont and northern NY were hit with a serious blizzard last night.

I was on my boat, which was kind of funny/strange.

Got about 15 cm / 6 inches. EDIT: make that 20 cm/ 8 inches.



The bad part is the trees haven't even lost all their leaves yet, so the snow load is wreaking havoc. Lots of tree damage, power outages.

Standing outside this morning, you could hear trees cracking & falling in the neighbourhood. Anyone who experienced the winter ice storm 10 years ago knows that sound instantly.

Pic of me talking to my parents' neighbour this AM - he just had those two trees trimmed a few weeks ago. I guess mother nature decided she wanted a buzz cut. The one on the left is laying on about 1/3 of the road.

Forecast for Friday: 12C / 53F - even warmer next week.
