Next you'll say it snows too.[/quote]

Last year, I distmantled a large Beech tree during two days of heavy snow.

Rigged it down, ornamental 100 year old wall underneath, that's why it took two days. It wasn't snowing when we started the job. At one point on the second day I could not see the groundies for about half an hour. I just pulled my jacket over my face and weathered the storm wishing I'd worked harder in school. Then it got so bad for about 5 mins I couldn't see my hand in front of my face.

Anyway, the snow had cleared by the time we could fell it. Blue skies.

I was glad to see the back of that job.

Glorious sunshine today though, rigged down a pine growing over a pond. One of those days your glad you climb trees.
