T-I-M-B-E-R! Trees down!!

Just as I feared: the heavy snowfall yesterday proved to be too much for some of our backyard trees to bear, and several of them came crashing down on our back deck yesterday. 

We were lucky--no one was hurt, and the deck appears to be mostly undamaged. There are lots of trees and power lines down all across the county, so it'll be at least a month before we can get a professional tree service out here to remove them.
