Sounds like the whole damn tree is coming down on my roof.

Stay alert man,it just may be!!!!
I really hope that tree can hold all the weight of the ice!!
If U havn't had a bad ice storm in the last 5-6 years,it could mean real trouble!!
Don't sleep under the tree.

So I'm wondering, if the standing air temp is above freezing, would hosing your tree branches down using a garden hose work to melt some of the ice. Like they do for frost on orange trees. I'd imagine it would take a crapload of water but may save on roofing costs.

That's the satellite view. The 1/2 city block on the north west corner of Gilmore and Lyndon is mine. SW of what you can see of my roof is a 24'x24' garage as well as a 10'x24' garage. They're about five feet apart. Can't see'em can ya?[:p] That's one huuuuuge elm and a not so big walnut hiding them.[;)] It would take a fire truck to hose that monster down.
No more additional limbs down this morning, but my yard almost looks like it snowed.
btw, that elm is between ten and fifteen feet behind the big garage.
I remember,and do not miss,the ice storms we would get in St.Loius,,[xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(]
