Freezing rain

The forecast was for deadly freezing rain from Ontario to Newfoundland and they were correct. All night the ice built up and the cracking of the trees never stopped. Thousands out of hydro and damage tothe forests and town trees was terrific.

In our yard we have branches which were broken off from the neighbours trees. Shameful mess and cleanup will not be easy. We are fortunate with usually good winter weather but on the

first day of winter this year we are bombarded with a very expensive storm to the environment and our pocket books.
