80mph Wind Gusts Trash the Yard
Unfortunately, as soon as we put Christmas lights on 12 trees in the yard, the wind began to blow with gusts up to 80mph. After three days of non-stop wind the lights look like they’ve been in a blender and are a tangled mess. At the moment aside from our scrambled tree lights, one of our tall birch trees snapped and is dangling across the fence into the neighbors yard, and a snow machine trailer blew across the thin lake ice and is temporarily held hostage by bushes on the island.
Please let it snow, let it snow, let it snow soon!
