Freezing Rain Damage

Anybody have any interesting tales of woe from the storm? I lost one whole side of branches (some 8" thick) on teh big Norway pine in front of my house. About 10 to 12 big ****** f"in branches came down on my F250, my open trailer and my new Explorer. It tokk me about 30 minutes just to pull them off the vehicles and clear a path to the street. The power was out in my area in Oakville for about 8 hours. Luckily it came back on again before the house cooled down too much. I was thinking about pulling the race track generator out of the garage to provide some power just as the electricity came back on.

Gonna have a ton of firewood as soon as I get my chainsaw working again. Boxing day fun for sure......

^^ If that hit the FD, I would cry. Heard my FC was hit by a branch only after selling it only after a few days of selling it :/ Lots of trees down in my area and the trees in this area are HUGE. Like mostly are all white birch and evergreens that all fell
