Wow! Nice photos but too bad the storm caused so much destruction to so many trees. I can only imagine this damage in multiples. It is still tough going for thousands of people without electric power and the ability to get around. I hope you have a chain saw, use it safely and stack some firewood. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Happy Holidays.

wow awsome pics where are you located?
That was my first thought.
As long as there are no downed power lines nearby, start cutting and loading the truck.

There's a great pic my wife took on her morning stroll down our street.

Thanks for sharing the pics, Bill - really something to look at...
Good 'ole Fitchburg.
We lost power again last night for 5 hours. Rumors are that the main keeps failing.
Yes I have a chain saw, and went wild with it during the past weeks...

Nice Photo! It reminds me of the cover of our grade school catechism.
Peaceful, powerful and serene. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.

We didnt get the damage that you all did out east but we did get dumped on a bit.
About 24 inches or so in my local area.

Finally got the pictures uploaded from the storm. That, coupled with the power being restored, allows me to bring you a few visuals from my area:
In front of the house
My Jeep (yes, it's under all that shit)
The driveway to the barn (at Moms, across the street from me)
Looking down the driveway from the garage
The "Mistress". Yes, she came through unscathed!
Center of town (Rutland)
Rifle range at Rutland Sportsmans Club, flooded
Just up the road from me
This is the reason I haven't been here. Between riding out the storm, cutting trees, and work, I've managed to go over a week averaging only 2-3 hours of sleep a night. (I can't wait to see this weeks check, though) Last night was the first time I got any appreciable sleep, 5 hours. I'll be more active after Thursday, when my on-call cycle ends. Now to finish cleaning up all this snow.

Damn! Awesome images! Too bad the damages were so high!
Any one else find damn people grabbing downed lines? I caught a few teens trying to pick up downed wires. By the time the police arrived all they got from me was a tag#

Criminy! All I got at my house was rain!!!!
About 6 years ago I was staying at my mom's on a night it snowed heavily. Her two car attached garage joins the house in an L shape. Both her car and mine were in the garage.
Woke up next morning, looked out to see one smaller tree had fallen into the crook of the L and was blocking that door.
A large (huge, really) set of branches from the front tree had fallen and literally blocked the entire wide of the garage doors.
Based on that I could imagine what was happening in other parts of Mass and in NH. Hope there weren't personal injuries to folks.
