April snow storm causes large tree in Marion Meadows to fall
When Tommie Blackledge Mudra woke up on Wednesday, snow on the ground wasn t her only surprise.
Blackledge Mudra, who lives in Marion Meadows, said she was checking out the snowfall in her backyard this morning when she received a text from her brother-in-law asking if she was going to break out the cross-country skis for today. Ironically, the last time the Marion Star spoke with her, it was also during a snowstorm and she had taken the opportunity to ski across the unplowed roads in her neighborhood.
But today, Blackledge Mudra is making calls for fallen tree removal. After last night s snow storm that coated Marion in a slushy mess, a big tree in her front yard was split down the middle with large branches falling into her yard, her neighbor s driveway and on top of two cars parked on the street.
