October Snow Storm Carnage

Last night on October 29th, central Massachusetts got a fair amount of wet snow. Estimates and measurements vary, but the campus got about 5-6" of snow. The problem with wet snow is that it weighs down trees, especially if the trees still haven't lost all of their leaves yet. The problem is amplified with longer branches as it creates more downward force on the branch (basic physics thank you), causing the branches to snap off.

I've taken a bunch of photographs and have posted two videos, here and here. I'll also embed the main video at the bottom of this post.

A somewhat complete photo album is here.

My tumblr post is here.
