So far the weather of 2021 has been rather unkind. The initial part of the event was an ice storm and as those go this was not anywhere near the worst of it kind, about 1/4 " of ice was deposited rather evenly on all the exposed limbs and leaves and needles. This brought down 4 or 5 big limbs but our inspection indicated nothing too severe. But over night 3-4 inches of nice sticky wet snow blanketed every thing. And suddenly the amount of limb breakage increased by about a factor of three. The damage may actually be more extensive depending up which bushes and shrubs bent to the ground recover and straighten. So far the power has gone out twice, the same 12 houses each time, of which ours is the last of the group because our neighbors get their power from a different direction. Here's an iced up young pine (P. bungeana) just beginning to collect snow, so this is just the beautiful part.
