Only been up here 7 winters, this being the second with hug snow fall in a short amount of time but never witnessed downed trees like in this storm. Was not super windy, just heavy snow and a lot of it.
Best wishes in getting it cleaned up and please be safe, trees like that can present a huge danger when cutting them away with weight loading one might not realize.

Just visited my BIL at his place near Tamarack Dr. in Twain Harte and I was stunned at the quantity of downed trees. Chimneys and roofs taken out. Seems like most owners were at their other properties as little had been done to remediate. Sad to see such beauty so decimated.
