snow_trees_on_lovely.jpg

So here's a view from our house from last week (during the Snow Event) -- the ghostly trees below to the neighbors. The tree in the middle of this photo lost significant branches the next day, blocking that road. Interestingly, similar trees across the street lost branches as well (so the two crossing sets of lost limbs made a nice big roadblock).

More photos to come.

Contacting Chris Higgins

I'm a writer based in Portland, Oregon. I mostly write for Mental Floss magazine (and their website), though I just had a story on This American Life, and had a cover story a few weeks back in The Portland Mercury. You can follow me on Twitter for occasional jokes and complaints about the weather.

I'm also an iPhone developer. Working with Night & Day Studios, I helped create Peekaboo Barn, Peekaboo Wild, Big Fat Lies, Life in Short, Cocktail Compass, Nick Jr.'s A-Z With Moose and Zee, Quibble, Savage Love, and a bunch of other apps.

Note: I'm not the (apparently famous) hockey player with the same name! You'll have to find his homepage in order to contact him.
