Sumfeten,
While our snowbanks melt from
the bottom, the frequent snow
squalls keep them prettily white on
the upper surface and the moun
tains gleaming in the sun breaks.
Snow squalls mean wind,
though, and on Thursday, March
24, a good-sized ponderosa was
felled from the root ball up (photo
by Nancy Myers). The tree
blocked Ibex Street at Auburn and
pulled power lines right out of the
transformer that serves much of the
northern part of town. It took the
OTEC lineman about five hours to
arrive, clear the lines and tree, and
restore power to the final home.
