Summary of Patrol
This was the fourth patrol of the 2020/2021 year. It took place the week of November 30. As is outlined below, 7 incidents were found during the patrol. We have attached the red unhappy face as there was a fair bit of damage was in the community with the snow event early in this week.
Weather seen at time of patrol
Weather was very poor early in the week — a very heavy weighted snowfall fell, creating havoc with pine and cedar trees in our community. The weather was quite nice during the patrol, no issues.
General comments
A lot of fallen branches, tree tops and smaller trees were noted across many properties with some blocking driveways. This was seen especially south of the lighthouse (Huron Road and Rosinke Drive or Zone 3 and Zone 4). If structures were damaged or at risk of getting damaged from the fallen trees, the homeowners were notified.
Incidents
It should be noted that for every incident, the patrollers identify the issue as best they can, take pictures, contact the owners, and, if requested, sends photos to the owners. All of the information is kept/saved both by the patroller and by the Association.

Shared photo
This photo was taken December 1 by Sue Foster — many trees came down (as outlined above), but the damage below was very typical of what happened to many trees on properties in Point Clark with the heavy snowfall and wind.
So, even if you did not have a major issue at your place, you will likely see some branches etc. broken and down in your yards if you have pine or cedar trees.
