So I just get back Tuesday from a 4 day backpacking trek specifically taken to see the fall foliage in Pennsylvania. What a treat for the eyes!
My RC3 was there as always pulling duty on routine chores (minus my ugly mug).
And then 96 hours later I'm dealing with this...
This was some seriously damaging snow that fell in central PA. Brought down a lot of trees and branches.
This is supposed to be a trail.
And this a forest service road.
A split tree.
Interesting thing is the ridges in the area rise 500 - 800 ft. As I climbed the ridges there was this magical zone where all the damage occurred. Below it there was little snow. Above it the snow was deep, but drier. In the middle zone the snow was very heavy and this is where the damage occurred. This had to be at the elevation that was just at freezing. In the colder temps higher up, the snow was light. In the warmer temps farther down, it was more rainy.
And to think I was looking forward to a nice long fall...you know with all this global warming going on...
