It has been snowing since before I got up this morning. National Weather Service said it was suppose to turn to rain. I know this is crappy photo but it is the third one I took and the best. It is my view out my bedroom window of a three-story oak tree.

Charlie, Simon and I sat out on the balcony today while the sun was still up. I heard this noise and it took me a minute to realize it was a tree branch breaking. I saw quite a few of them on my way home from work today at 11am. I’ve heard it a few times since then too. It is a primal sound I think.

And then the lights went out…
