It sounds like you have what’s expected here, though we’ll have rain with the wind. We only had a little over 6 inches of rain from Sept. 1st to Dec. 31st. In the same time period in ‘22, we had a little over 20 inches. BIG difference and the trees feel it. Those strong sustained winds with stronger wind gusts for over 24 hours is going to really strain them. Needless to say, it has a lot of us a bit on edge. Nothing we can do but hope for the best.
The folks north of us are going to have a worse time with all the snow they’ll get hammered with.
And there are at least two more big systems to go after this one.
I do believe winter is here.
I think you’re right. It’s feeling close to winter anyhow. At nights anyway.
Ugh. If rain softens that ground and the wind is very strong, you might just lose some trees. I hope not, though. What a mess to have to clean up.
