    Poor Jeep! :( It shows how rugged they can be... o_O You would need a "BIG" front end loader or excavator to lift and pull that off the house and set it down. Where's Superman when we need him? :rofl: :lol:

    And then there is what I believe is maple, of some sort.

    Now THAT is a Jeep thing that I can fully appreciate.:thumbs:
    Hope the Jeep isn't a total wash.. but I'd rather replace a car than my house.

    Then again, I've got a house and 22 acres of land, for $55K, about the same as the cost of that Jeep.

    Hmmmm tough call.. would have to call the insurance agent to figure out what's worse. :eek:

    None that I am aware of, on my property.

    Snow is supposed to be of the heavy/wet kind, so who knows.

    Well.... Mother Nature decided to prune back a maple branch a few minutes ago. Landed on a garage used mostly for seasonal storage. I wonder what else will be pruned. Snow is wet and heavy. Sticking to whatever it's landing on. Probably won't get much sleep tonight. Flashlights are at hand. [​IMG]

    Yeah, same kinda crap we had last week.
    Hope you keep power and nothing damages your house. Hope there's not much damage to the garage but some messed up shingles.

    Stay safe.

    How are things looking in the daylight Mike? Hopefully you still have power. The storm is still raging up here in Maine but the wind isn’t as bad as overnight. Lots of power outages around us but we’ve been lucky so far. No trees down within sight.

    We have about a foot so far and it’s supposed to end around mid day here so we’ll go close to the 18” predicted probably. The plow just weather by and left a nice bank for me to play with. :thumbs:

    I think a younger me might get in and drive forward, slightly to the left.

    Never lost power. Lots of trees/branches bent over. About 10in of heavy snow. Lots of power outages in the area. Going to be a scroungers paradise over the next week or so.

    Looks like a couple of smaller limbs snapped off that same maple, as well as a couple others.

    Wow, that's a mess! We lost some big pine branches, but are hanging onto power.
