Also a ratty tree I've been wanting to get rid of for years is down in my backyard! There’s a tree down on Wallach Pl (I sent you a pic).

There are so many traffic accidents here, the Federal transportation people took it upon themselves to commission a safety study. Anyway, my neighbors have long since stopped repairing their fence, which gets plowed down every month or so. The snow has now downed their big beautiful tree. I am beginning to wonder if their property is located over a teeny tiny Indian burial ground, since their luck is so very bad.

Looks like crews already took care of them, though. Large branches down on the 1500 or 1400 block of Swann St. NW, and some big trees down on 16th near Meridian Hill Park.

Good thing we have a strong sun and relatively light winds, a lot of the snow-covered trees in the sun seem to be melting well.

Looks like they damaged some cars in the process: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/e4z1hoE_tUBKR697-SDjbw?feat=directlink http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/-adZbtPxf83yFv90fI7_Vw?feat=directlink Our small Japanese maple also had a limb knocked off - I guess maple trees' canopies were perfect for this snow to stick to.
