October Nor'easter


We were hit with a surprise storm this week. The forecast was for a bit of rain and some wind so the resulting storm caught us by surprise.


We had a deluge of rain, some flurries in the air and of course incredible winds.


The Boy's summer shelter was blown upside down, broke one fencepost and was impaled on another. Just after it happened the guys gathered on the tent floor looking around with puzzled expressions, wondering where their house went.


Out I go in the gale force winds to take the sides off the tent as they are acting like giant sails in the wind. The sides came off, and in the final ravages of the storm the remainder of the tent was blown across the field and came to rest upside down.


We are expecting summer weather on the weekend; the first job will be cleaning up the mess.
