Now It's Snow, the Locusts are on Deck.

11-7-12 SHORT HILLS: Bizarre is the word for what the nor’easter is doing today. We have high wind, of course, and snow. Yes, I said snow, a couple inches so far. We were relatively lucky here to not have major tree damage in the hurricane last week. We did have many broken branches down, and some branches still hanging in the trees. Other parts of town lost trees, hundreds were brought down.

This storm, with snow and more wind, while some trees still have foliage up, will probably do what Sandy didn’t do to us. Did I say that it's freezing?

We‘ve had power since Sunday, friends just got power back today after a ten day outages, but what’re the chances of heavy, wet snow causing new outages—could that happen? I’m sure it’ll all be worse in the coastal towns that were ravaged by Sandy because they’re expecting another storm surge tonight.


Burning bush and chokecherry in the snow.

Fortunately this apple is leafless.

Another burning bush going from red to white.
