» Susan Cramer - Ice and snow damage to trees

Two days before Christmas of 2005, our area had an ice storm that knocked out our power for almost an entire week. The worst part was at 3am after the rain-turned -to-ice had been falling for hours. You could hear the trees creaking and groaning before the branches snapped. It was the saddest noise I ever heard, worse than having a can of beans cooked in the fireplace for Christmas brekkie!

Yes there is an eerie sound to cracking in the dawn hours. Thunderstorms and wind we hear alongside the breaks, but the quiet of snow +/- ice is something that has to be experienced.
