Too many storms

Our power came on at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, almost exactly 9 days after we lost it. We saw telephone poles being toted up the block and were so happy!
Then we got hit with a Nor'Easter that dumped about 3 inches of snow on us.

Pics:

This old tree ripped in half and is only hanging from these weird vines. You can see how the wood is twisted. It just about took out my neighbor's roof. Mike went there with a chainsaw to cut it back.

We only lost one section of fence, which Mike easily fixed.

This is one of the trees that almost took out our neighbor's house up the block, and caused us to lose power for more than a week.

Another reason we lost power. Our house is at the bottom of this hill, just two houses from the cracked pole.

AND JUST TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY:

The Nor'easter did this to our gazebo. It's supposed to come to a point at the top. Mike put on the awning to protect the generator from rain. We were NOT expecting snow!

At least, not snow that does things like this! This is the gazebo this morning. Mike and James had already wheeled the genny into the garage for storage, since we have power again.

And every time the lights flicker, we cringe...
