It's a Different Kinda Halloween This Year

Happy Halloween!  

I live in New York, and for the first time that I can remember, it's going to be a white Halloween.

Here is our Halloween Snowman.  Saturday morning started out like any other Fall day.  We heard there was a storm coming, so we decided it was time to put away all of the outdoor furniture.  Bright and early we put everything away.  Literally as we put the last item into the shed, the snow began.  It snowed heavy, wet snow.  Great packing snow.  But it's only October.  The leaves are still on the trees.  In case you ever wondered why the leaves fall off the trees before the winter, it became crystal clear during this storm.  The trees with leaves held this snow and it caused the tree branches to snap from the weight.  While we were outside building our Halloween snowman we kept hearing what sounded like gun-shots.  It was all of the trees in the neighborhood snapping and falling.  Trees fell everywhere and we have been without power for a while now (I am actually at my parents writing this post).  

Look at the devastation in my parent's backyard.  

Yep...that's right over the roof of their sunroom.  It's still hanging there as of now.  The tree people were supposed to come today to assess the damage, but never made it out.  

Well, this is the craziest Halloween weather we have ever had!  

Hope you all have a safe, fun Halloween.
