2nd week of December and we’ve already had our first major dump of snow (with more on the way). What’s interesting about this one was the freezing rain which then turned to snow. Look closely at the branches below.

Trees are hanging low, branches have snapped, and parts of the city lost electricity during the night of Dec 10th.
