Aftermath of Winter 2009 in Columbia County, New York

It has been a tough winter here in Columbia County, New York which is 100 miles north of the hustle and bustle of New York City. Had the normal number of sub 0 degree nights; and that is fahrenheit but the worse was the ice storm of January ’09 which left a path of destroyed tree limbs besides the 6 days with no utilities whatsoever. (Luckily I have a propane powered Generator so all was not lost except internet service)
Now that the snow has finally melted and am here observing the aftermath on a pseudo spring day , I can’t imagine the number of days it will actually take me to clean this mess up. Sure, I can hire someone and believe me with the economy in this here parts, I will find many takers, but I just can’t bring myself to pay for brawn. At least most of the time. That is something I still have. Well , guess I have to count the coins and see if I get my kids to do it.
