If trees were human beings, this is what we've seen the last couple of days. Still no power at home or office after 2 days. All over the city, trees, limbs and partial trees on the ground, yards destroyed, power lines down. Sounds of sirens and falling branches, the dark gray sky looming over the damage. Blacked out city blocks, dark intersections with a few randomly lit homes and neighborhoods.
Inch-thick ice coating every tree, bush and leaf of grass. Long, evenly spaced ice sickles fringing every fence and railing. Ice melting; drops dripping.
I am frozen. M is melting. We’ll see what this weekend brings.
