 Quite the weather we had last week. We had four days of freezing rain. An awful lot of trees either bent or broken, probably thousands, mostly Juniper, Birch and Willows. I went up on the Base(everyone calls the hill where the microwave towers are "the Base" because there used to be an American manned radar station there, part of the Pinetree Line) for a look Saturday. Some places ALL the trees were bent over and there was 4 inches or more of built up ice on a lot of the trees. There were several poles broke off going to the microwave towers. Power was cut in order to replace the poles. They are on back up generator power now, if not then we would have lost phones and internet. We were real lucky we never lost power to the whole town.
