Save The Trees~

Monday, the 24th, it was 80 degrees...

broke a record.

By Wednesday we had a major snowstorm,

only in Colorado...

Jim and I were up at 5am trying to knock the

snow from our tree branches.  It had been such

a warm October that by the time the snow flew

most of the trees still had all their leaves.

This became a problem throughout the day

with many fallen branches throughout the

Denver Metro area and northern cities.

There were many power outages, some lasting

for two days.  We lucked out only being without

power for maybe an hour!

 Wednesday morning at 11am we had

some pretty good snowfall!

 7 inches high.

 Little bit of a winter wonderland.

 I had gone back outside for 2 more hours in the morning

working on knocking more snow from the tree branches.

I think we saved the trees!  Whew!!

 By 1pm the same day the railing of snow

measured at 9 inches.

Cody came home and tried knocking more

built up snow from the trees.  Jim had to finish

the job later that night.  We were glad we lost 

no branches with this early storm!
