What a great photo! I remember back in the late 80’s or early 90’s (I can’t really recall) having snow piled up in parking lots that was 20 to 30 feet high and around our driveway and front walk that was 10 feet high. Walking down the sidewalk and out to the street or out to our cars was like walking down a white hallway. Driving was extremely dangerous because it was impossible to see around corners.

I hear you. We had two storms where trees came down on our old house. In the second storm, a tree hit the house and then came down on my jeep. Trees are beautiful, but they can be very destructive and dangerous when subjected to high winds and/or heavy snow. We’d like to take down some of the trees that are encroaching on our house, but it’s expensive.

I remember! Burlington Mall plowers made “Mall Mountain.” It must’ve been over 20 feet and theyleft a yellow plow up top.

We’ve taken four or five trees down here in our “new” house. Many more have simply fallen. One of the reasons that I liked this property was that the trees weren’t overhanging the house. A lot has changed in the past ten years.

Wasn’t it amazing? Huge areas of the parking lots of the malls were inaccessible, and in the spring it took weeks and weeks for them to melt. Those were the days. I remember in the mid-90’s the thermometer on a tree next to our deck read -22 degrees. Thank goodness that my car didn’t die on the way to work. I saw many abandoned cars along the roadside that morning.

This tree is a hemlock and it’s right at the corner of the house. If it comes down it’s going to damage the foundation at the very least. It needs to come out but the landlord can’t afford it and the old guys (landlord and Hubby) can’t do it.

It’s too expensive. I think that we’re going to try to cut some of the lower limbs.

It's a beautiful tree, but according to Wikipedia:
"Old trees are commonly attacked by various fungal disease and decay species, notably Heterobasidion annosum and Armillaria species, which rot the heartwood and eventually leave the tree liable to windthrow, and Rhizina undulata, which may kill groups of trees following minor grass fires that activate growth of the Rhizina spores.[9]"
We have had some serious problems in this state from the wooly adelgid, which is a hideous parasite of the hemlock.
