Eight to Ten inches of heavy wet snow fell this morning. We plowed open South Cemetery and then checked our other cemeteries for tree damage.
Mostly we encountered a few limbs down, some blocking the back roads, and picked them up. Here are some shots of an old maple at Jones Cemetery that broke in half and got caught up in its own lower limbs.
Started with the pole saw. Carefully selecting limbs in order to lower the piece slowly to the ground.
The top of the tree broke off and became caught in the crotch of a lower limb on its way to the ground. The lower limb broke but not completely off.
Here's the top on the ground
Immediate danger resolved. Will return in better weather to consider removing this tree.
