We have 14 trees on our property so we were badly hit by the freak October Northeaster with very heavy snow added to the weight of the leaves. We had 5 or 6 big branches fall in the front and a huge branch is hanging onto our back 2nd story porch, held by a thread. Even if we could pull it down, it might take out our garage. We will wait a month or so until prices for tree men come. One major artery, Martine Avenue had trees down in four places last night.
