Bad weather combined with bad economy means alot of trees will suffer - ice damage is bad enough, plus the market is flooded with "tree guys" who'll do practically anything to pay their bills, including kneejerk removals of otherwise viable trees and rampant topping. Poor trees.
We dodged the bullet here in central Arkansas, so far. I have about an inch or so of sleet on the ground but nothing in the trees. Mabye some south of I-40 or around south memphis.
