Ice Storm Adventure

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

It’s officially been one day since the Ice Storm hit the Northeast.  Over a quarter million homes lost power.  I happened to be one of the lucky few that DID NOT lose power, though street lights 1/2 mile away were dark.  Even today reports are saying it could still be several days before homes get electricity restored.

I ventured to the dog park today to give Logan a little exercise, I brought my camera because I was expecting some good images.  On the drive to the park, it was beautiful seeing the trees lining the road covered in a white blanket.

With reports of done trees all over the place, for some reason I was expecting to just roll right up to the East Greenbush Town Park and their dog park.  As soon as I turned onto the town park road I was met with downed trees covering the road.  I parked the car on the side of the road and walked to the dog park.  I did happen to met two other groups of people heading out of the park on my walk in.

Here are some pictures of the damage to the road and park.
