Parts of New England and New York got hit with a nasty ice storm on Thursday
that dropped trees over a large area. There are still thousands of people
waiting to get power restored, and some secondary roads are still blocked.
All this stuff is very visible, but I wonder what we'll see when the
sledding season opens in a couple weeks. I'd have to think that a lot of
trails are going to be blocked by downed trees and limbs, and question if
the clubs have the resources to clear those trails anytime soon. It might be
a good idea to carry a chainsaw on that first trail ride.
