Too much snow is not good for tree's!

Dan and I woke up to a loud crashing noise at 7am one morning! Our first thought was one of our neighbors roofs had fallen in. We jumped up and ran to our windows. Dan was the one who discovered that it wasn't a roof it was our next door neighbors large maple tree! It had just toppled over from the weight of the snow! Our neighbor cheryl had hated that tree from the minute we moved in! We loved that tree though! We had taken family pictures in front of it in April and thought it was a beautiful tree!
Dan ran outside and talked to cheryl! Her Son tyler had been inspired ( no they are not LDS Or for that matter religious!)! He had gone out two hours before and decided to move cheryl's car 3 ft towards the garage! Then he shoveled some snow and went inside! When the tree fell it missed the car by 2ft!!
So after the phone company and power company have been called what does a boy from everett and a boy from Montana do when a tree falls down?? They grab chainsaw's of course!! Dan called our friend Landon over and they sawed the tree down for the wood for Landons stove. Of course they will let the wood dry so it will be ready for next year! Go country boys!!

The tree made it all the way to the street!!





From our window you can see how close it came to Cheryl's car!!
