Yesterday was warm in the 50's and rain, seemed like lots of rain. And with her daughters here in the kitchen doing stuff for turkey day it was plenty warm. This morning I wake ,humm a bit chilly but not enough to fire up the stove. Went to make coffee,,,, HMMMM no coffee, I wont say what I was thinking.
OK so I go shower and dressed to head to SAMS and looked out the bed room window. The wind still blowing SW to NE 15 to 20 mph I would say, and the rain has turned to light snow blowing SIDE ways... I am NOT ready for winter !!!!

Skeets, I woke up to a power outage, high winds and a LOT of rain. I went outside to check on things and I discovered that the wind blew some roofing shingles off from my storage shed. So, I had to get up on that roof and repair the damage before it became any worse. This is not how I wanted to spend my day. I am thankful that I did not have any more damage than that.

Now, at least you did not mention any damage to your property and I hope that you don't get any. I will say a prayer of thanks that I have not read about any damage to any property on this site so far this year.

We had a span of no less than 24 hours of rain on Saturday followed up by a few inches of snow on Sunday. 2 weeks ago it was 60 mph winds that uprooted 2 trees in our back yard. Havent had time to get to cutting those up and cleaning up that mess. Hopefully this weekend.

This might be more than a little ambitious, but if you want to save those trees you may be able to upright them and pack some soil and rocks around the roots. I am not any kind of an authority on trees but I had an apple tree blow over like that several years ago. I was able excavate the dirt around where the roots were before it blew over and then upright the tree. After I got the tree upright, I placed some big rocks and dirt around the roots. The tree came back to life and started producing apples again a couple years later.

Just a thought.

I would love to be able to save them but i dont think I have the the equipment or ability to do so. Those trees are easily 35 ft. tall. Possibly more.
