High winds for a couple of days, snow and the weight of leaves and flower blossoms sometimes cause the collapse of really, really old tree limbs.

Sigh!

But the tree is still living so to shave off a heavy branch is just alright.

We are dealing with the same issue, large limbs broken off from the weight of snow and ice.

Oh, that’s a shame….

Looks like your snow is gone though. Sure didn’t last long! Yesterday’s snow I mean. Winter was here forever!

It is the trees battered by the storms that are the strongest and most charactor! (my husband is a wood worker)

I really like Jody Blue’s comment!

Your weather seems to change drastically, like our Vegas weather, except we don’t get snow!
