Dear Alex,
What a great piece–an exemplary way to cope with something of a disaster. The photos are gorgeous. Isn’t it something, that weird connection between the majestic and the catastrophy?
A tree feel on my brother’s van last year and did the same; I feel for you, and I’m so grateful that neither of you were in your cars.

Hi, Alex. Great pictures, and what a great attitude. I left the MacDowell Colony at 9 am on the morning the ice storm started, nervously. The roads were fine and I was headed south, so I was out of the ice storm very soon. When I heard that 2/3rds of New Hampshire was without power, and (a few days later) saw that the road past the Colony was out and the power was out too, I felt like someone who’d just been dropped off a lovely yacht and, turning to wave a sad goodbye, saw it sinking. I heard (from Michelle) that your car was crushed. You dealt with it all with aplomb. Happy New Year!

Wow, Alex! Great pics, fabulous descriptions. I love, “it felt like being inside a chandelier.” Perfect. Glad you weren’t INSIDE your car (ouch!) or that any limbs didn’t decide to come crashing down on you during your ice skating break… uh, I mean, exploratory stroll. It IS an exceptional thing to be shown nature’s power. Sobering, but so beautiful.
Stay warm!
Alex

Wow! The tree in the last picture looks like a giant dandelion with all the spores waiting to be blown off. Great to see you guys last night!
