Post Wildfire Snow Photos

 Trees like this one continue to fall over every day post wildfire and some fall close or into the road and get covered with snow. The road grader comes along and the operator doesn't see the tree because it is hidden in the snow and the tree gets caught up in the equipment. I watched as the operator had to stop the grader, get out and lug the tree off to the side of the road

 Trees have cracked bark and many are falling over or leaning and each time the wind blows over they go. After the wildfire this view had no leaning or fallen trees but now they are everywhere.

 Trees like this that are burned half way or more through are just waiting for a good wind to blow them over. After the wildfire volunteers came along our road and marked trees that appeared to be at risk for falling into the road but many are still standing and adjacent trees that looked pretty good have fallen. While the trees have been marked no one ever came along to cut them down yet. There are so many trees and so few volunteers. I plan to cut the dead ones in front of our house down before long so they don't fall on us or our vehicles or garage. I don't like cutting trees in the winter but I have done it in years past and now it is to not being under one as we walk the road so it will be for safety sake.

Dead black sticks pointing skyward. These used to be trees but now only ugly vertical sticks. The bark is blown off the pine and aspen trees with the wind. As can be seen in the photo the burn scar is as far as we can see which is several miles. These are probably things that folks don't realize occur after a wildfire.
