Glad to hear you faired well skippy.

That looks like the mess we had in london in october. We got 12 inches of snow in october. A very heavy wet snow and the trees hadn't dropped their leaves yet. So ALOT of trees hit the ground taking out power and cars and such every where. Half of the kitchener work force was in london helping clean that mess up on our contracts for almost 2 weeks.

I went the day of myself to help plow and was amazed at the damage. The first site I got to there was at least 20 trees down ontop of cars and the buildings there. Every site after was the same pretty much. One of the london guys had a large tree just miss the cab of his truck while he was in it... A few others just barely missed fallen power lines.

looking to be a cold winter this year Skip. We had snow flurries way on down heah in Cypress this past Tuesday. We get snow every 13 to 20 years. The cycle has come back around, I expect we'll get some that stays around for a day or two this year.
