The night of the pre-Halloween snowstorm was so light because of all the snow you could take photos with the daylight setting. There was also a strange lightning which might have been transformers blowing up.
On Sunday, we learned that 100 percent of Amherst had lost power. We got it back at 5 a.m. on Monday, but 60 percent of Amherst residents still didn't have service this afternoon and almost nobody at work did. It seems towns in higher elevations didn't have as much tree damage and power loss, because the snow, although there was more of it was lighter. We lost a couple of arborvitae, and our neighbor's maple trees were damaged, but that was minor compared to all the trees that were down all over.
Saturday was beautiful and much of the 9 inches of snow in our yard melted as the day went on.
Our plastic Adirondack chairs looked overstuffed.
All the lilac trees were bent over but bounced back.
