the April storm

Overnight on April 3rd into the day on April 4th nearly two feet of heavy, wet snow fell. The area was thrown into chaos as trees toppled on power lines and fell across roads, snapped limbs and wires were everywhere. A surge of tree service and utility workers flooded the state in the aftermath, working tirelessly to clear roads and restore electricity. Warm temperatures followed, and within 24 hours the snowpack melted nearly six inches. Within a week it was like it had never happened, except for the masses of limbs and cut up trees that are currently piled along roadways.
