 Here in mid-coast Maine, the big wet snow storm is starting to melt.  The East 
Beverage was not hearing 4T4TA well, and an inspection found breaks and 
multiple large branches on the wire. 
 Two support poles were  also down under very large branches. Large branches 
here can have the diameter of trees of some localities.  Sliding wire schemes 
are good, but when a support pole gets slammed on both side of an insulator at 
the same time,  it does not always work. 

 Beverages in the woods can help us old guys get the exercise we need. (; > ))
