Snowing decent and it's starting to get windy here. A large limb of a tree snapped off and the top hit the metal roof of my deck, waking me up. Luckily I think the damage is just superficial to my deck but will need to check it out closer when the weather clears up. Guess I should do some more tree trimming this spring/summer.

Agreed. So far the ones near my house are fine but several have fallen in the woods behind the house this winter. And the severity of the power outage always comes down to what came down, the lines or the whole GD pole 😂

I think a part of this though is if we think about what's been happening to the trees recently. 2020 was a pretty brutal drought. 2022 was another big drought. The trees are whooped and these heavy snow and heavy wind events do a ton of damage to an already struggling population

I’ve been in NH about 7 years now. The power has gone out more in the last year than all 7 combined. Glad we have a generator, best purchase we ever made.
