Well.
We got about a foot of snow.
Half of one of the maple trees at the end of the driveway broke off and fell into the driveway, blocking our ability to leave. Worse, it wasn't the known dead limb(s), but live ones.
The cedar which stands at the corner of our garage was literally bent double this afternoon under the snow -- until it snapped and fell on our car. As far as I can tell, though, the car is undamaged, as the trunk that fell was fairly thin, as an evergreen it had full and bushy branches which self-cushioned, and it fell on such an angle that if anything got damaged on the car at all, it would be little more than a dent in the pillar between the windshield and the front passenger door.
Good news is, a couple guys just came around and starting in the morning tomorrow will not only dig us out, they will cut up the fallen stuff and haul them away. They'll even check on the other sides of the house for other fallen branches/trunks. Which we might have.
I'll try to get pics of the driveway disaster to post here.
