always nice weather after a storm
The temp is 55F and sunny...not bad for Dec 13
While doing yard clean-up of the limbs from the storm...I discovered that 3 sections of my fence had been blown over/posts snapped at ground level. 36 feet worth...just a minor problem compared to others south of here.

^^^ Correct! But 55 and sunny in MI is very unusual. About 20 degrees over our average high.

Get off my lawn!

Yea, I don't think your damage is worthy of an insurance claim.
 We are 66 and sunny.

Beautiful place.
Your HOA just called me: Have the fence repaired by Thursday or there will be a real cold front coming through. Best

Nope. I just finished burning the broken 4X4's. Springtime, I'll dig up the broken bottoms and replace them. Nail up the other boards and I'm done. I just wish I hadn't used a full bag of redi-mix for each post!

Awful weather here over the weekend. 85 on Saturday for the high and only 65 on Sunday for the high.

The funny part of it is that last year, I noticed that section of fence was leaning in from the prevailing winds.
So, I dug around the posts and added another bag of redi-mix to each post to reinforce them. What happens then...the wind snaps the posts off right at ground level...lol When I go to digging the broken post bottoms out...it will be real fun.
