It is hard to tell just how much we had from these pictures but it was more than we have ever had before Christmas. Unfortunately this was followed by temperatures above zero, heavy rains and winds gusting to 90 km. an hour. It was pretty wild in our area and almost everyone in our town had water in their basements from the melting snow and rains. We were very fortunate that we only had water, some we know on the other side of town had three feet of sewage in their basements. EEWWWW!
Some towns declared a state of emergnecy due to flooding. One town had to evacuate 30 families and roads were closed all over due to being washed out. Add to this the high winds which widely knocked out power and it was quite a mess. We were very blessed to only have had a short outage, many were out for much longer.
North of here lots of trees were snapped off near the top. It looked like spikes sticking out of the ground in forested areas. Other larger trees were uprooted.
So now things have gotten colder and it's been snowing but by Sunday we are supossed to reach above zero again with more rain - fortunately the majority of the snow is gone so we shouldn't have anymore difficulties.
How has the weather been where you are?
Blessings,
Liisa
