Snapping trees.

So all day long it has been around freezing and drizzling. The trees are coated with a 3/4 inch cover of ice and started snapping this morning. The wind picked up at 3:00 this afternoon and the problems compounded. It is hard to get around on the roads right now for all the trees in the road and utility crews blocking roads to repair downed power lines. A large tree in front of my house lost a branch while I was cooking supper. Thankfully the city crews got it cleared from the road in about 15 minutes. I just heard another large snap farther down the road. Hopefully it hit an empty spot and not someone's house.
