Well, the simplest description is to say, 'a Black Oak fell across the parked VW Bus', which is somewhat less ominous than 'a Ponderosa fell on our Tent and landed between us'....two tent mates over in the Stables have a tale for all time!...it was no small Tree either, neighbors report an earthshaking thump, and things bouncing....needless to say, the Stables were evacuated, and Huff too, and the YIs sent down the Hill, and more than a few guests leaving in PS caravans!...it really hasn't been that heavy a snow fall, but it is very wet snow, and heavy, so lots of Trees have come down, though not so many as the Storm last year, I'm thinking....I only walked as far as the Village...tall Ponderosa fell across the Road at Sentinel Bridge...and the crews cleared the Road quickly...another on the Road to the A Rooms...and a Black Oak toppled near the Post Office...took pics and clips of crew clearing fallen Oak branch that got caught in the Canopy by Lower Falls...a Damocles that I had reported....dont know but looking up so much at the Trees, I notice right away things amiss...the Woodpecker Tree is okay, and the Elm, and the Oak Branch That Arks Over Half Dome...tomorrow I have to check the Leaning Cedars at Creek's End, and else ware....snowed during the walk, but clear the rest of the afternoon, and warm enough to melt the Snow from the Branches in a hurry......the Bus, as it's said, is History.....
