The survey of damaged trees has been concluded. It appears right now we have roughly 20 aspen trees and two pine trees that fell under the weight of the heavy snow. We are now working on these trees to get them cut up and stacked. Sadly the dead aspen trees survived and those damaged were all live trees. Some fell over from the weight and some broke about half way down and still have to be removed. When we get them split and stacked it will take several months for them to dry out enough to use as firewood.
Both pine trees were also alive and I guess this is natures way of thinning out the trees. Time to get the log splitter out and get some of this split so it will dry faster. Back breaking work...for two old folks....
