Its all cleaned up here no need to come.hone:
I was actually surprised how patchy it is. Seems one neighborhood will have branches everywhere and the next is still prestine and in perfect shape. Much nicer work today now that the ice has melted off the branches. Boss kicked in some rooms at the Hilton so I'm livin large w/ a belly full o' porterhouse and a flatscreen tv. Now THAT'S what I call storm work.

Stop
Yeah who am I kidding. I didnt lose power, and we havent had many calls for this storm, kind of out of our range of usual clients. Plus storm cleanup always adds some interesting little twists to the usual.

Well put!! ITs odd how different streets are just hammered and 2 blocks away everything is hunkee dooree. We have been working dawn till dusk since the storm hit thurs night but today the tree company's came out the wood work. Every other street some one was cutting. What kind of trucks are you guys running? Name of company? We have mostly white trucks with blue knuckle booms and chippers. J&B TREE SPECIALIST on the doors. stop by if you see us, will be in the Albany area for the next 2 weeks. Oh yeah, X2 on the no ice thing...MUCH NICER!!!

That is why it is good to know a little meteorology, think of these storms as the frost pockets that kill a garden. we can call it a freeze pocket
The rain falls from a warmer airmass into the freeze pocket, then the rain freezes almost right away. Around the corner the ground is a little higher, or has a topography that allows the warm air to move in so it does not get the freezing.

There are still 96000plus with out power and this is day 5. They are actually looking on canceling schools until after x mas break.
I left my house 130 am on friday morning it took me 45 minutes to get to my shop 10 minutes away. I had to cut threw trees and go around power lines. I have seen so many hacks out it makes me sick. I work as a groundskeeper fro a school system and have been cutting trees eversince friday, and also been cutting for the town as well.:greenchainsaw:

So I shouldn't change my name to TreeSleigher? Is that the message I am getting?

I asked you before to change it, and you didn't. I picked this name long before you. this confuses searches, and why get personal? anybody can type, say it to my face, and wake up with a wired jaw.
don't need a tree business to be a good climber. I make good money doing what I do. I've ran a business for years, and found a niche with little headache.
yes I have 2 careers, and do both very well.. I do tree work year round, and do whatever I can to provide for my 4 kids. what you think is irrelevant to me.

I haven't posted on this site since then just lurk once in a while 2 many better sites out there to check out . You just brought it up about stealing your name. Like I said before you can have it let it go. As far as my jaw I seriously doubt that. good luck with your 2 careers.

I guess up in Ashfield, MA right up near where I was working saturday, they had high tensions come down, not sure if it was just wires or whole towers. They are talking about no power possibly till after Xmas. Wowser.
