the "literal" crack of dawn..

[Mr Bogus]

Well woke up to this mess today... we knew it was coming..

Was talking to Busa159 and BaBusa, told them only thing I was worried about was my pear tree in the back (still full of leaves)

Well.... here ya go..

 

[KokomoBusa]

hey.....don't know if you noticed it, but somethings wrong with your tree

 

[Commuta_Busa]

now you wont have as many bugs around your house once the pear tree is gone

Pear trees seem to always be the first to go during inclement weather.. Do you have a fire place or do you like to use wood when grilling? At least you can use the wood for something.

 

[Mrs.Rubber2Burn]

Wow!

I wish that I lived somewhere with some snow. Except for that tree thing the snow looks nice.

pear tree makes good smoking or grilling wood? I really like mesquite myself.. never tried Pear wood..

Dang, how much ice did you get?

 

[F=MA]

Sad to see.

 

[Mr Bogus]

Dang, how much ice did you get?

about 1" so far and about 1/2 the city is without power at the moment..

this was the tree I was going to trim after the weather went cold... ooops day late..

 

[GSXcite]

Sorry Randy. I have been tore up by two ice storms and it's not fun!

I am just really glad that the tree went like it did... missed the house completely so call it dumb luck or God knew I did not need that expense right now either way, really has been a beautiful morning albeit cold and wet..

Beautiful collage Mr. Biscuit, nice work! I bet you won't have a partridge in that pear tree this year. I don't know where Biscuitville is but this is why I like SoCal. I don't miss the ice storms, Arctic Express, tornados or frog stranglers. But I have to admit, it certainly makes it look like Christmas.

 

[flybybusa]

Dang it I thought this was a thread about BlondeOnaBusa!

 

[BA BUSA]

Man that sucks glad the house didn't get hit.

 

[99'busa]

It's amazing that just 2hrs south and we got nothing. I even put out salt on the driveway

I'm actuallly a little disapointed. I like extreme weather. but not wind, it aint no fun

 

[MrsGrumpy]

Is this what we have to look forward to? I just power back Monday. UGGHH!

 

[twotonevert]

An inch is a lot of ice, it only took half that to cripple Tulsa this time last year.

 

[Wag]

That sux, man. Sorry to see.
