Nor'easter brings snow & tree damage

I see this is the first comment from lovely Snowland. It's disgusting and yes, we worry about the effect on those trees still holding on to leaves. Many power outages over wide swaths of the northeast. This is about the only time we can feel really smug here, since we live offline and have for forty years. Of course the fun side of that is that we hand pump and hand carry the water. But living a mile off the road we plan ahead with a pantry, and keep the snowshoes by the door.
And as an aside, if you were to listen to the Mainer, he would actually be saying something like "Nawtheastah". I understand it was some weather-person who coined the Nor'easter pronunciation. No "r"'s please.

It was all rain here near the Narragansett Bay shore but a block away there was a bit of snow on the roofs. Most of our leaves, the ones that weren't shredded by the wind, are still green. The oaks of course but also a tulip poplar, a redbud and a sassafras. After escaping the brunt of Irene and this storm I am feeling a bit superstitious.
In southeast New Brunswick, our heavy rain turned to heavy snow this afternoon. Harsh winds and freezing temperatures produce the same worries about leafy trees becoming overburdened with snow and then breaking or taking out power lines. It is early for snow here, but not totally unexpected given the cold that has descended over the past few days.
