Man....this time last year, we were watching the radar fill in to the south, anticipating the arrival of 2-3 feet. I got so fookin drunk, underage and all. A great night for more than just the snow.....
This storm was a probably the most enjoyable living nightmare, I hated it as much as I loved it. I remember looking at the trees around 6PM, they were already caked with snow, no doubting the inevidable. I was gonna have a COLD night ahead of me.
I'll never forget the "craaaaaaaaaaack" every 10 minutes or so, beginning around midnight or so.....tree damage was the worst I've seen, beating out isabel. There were about 3 mature pine trees laying across heatherhill Court......on my block alone. Pine trees and Bradford Pears....they were hurt bad. All of my neighbors had some form of tree damage. Limbs, branches, and entire trees, just horrible.
We walked to helmsdale road around 2AM. We had to turn back, brutal. Then started a fire, and lost Power around 3AM. I ended up measuring once an hour, which probably inflated my totals a bit. I'd love to relive snowmageddon.
