I wish I could smart off at every single comment but I'm still kinda weak I guess.
I hired an arborist several years ago and they trimmed as high as they could get. These branches that are breaking off are more than 100 feet up and flipping as they come down so because the ice and leaves are heavier than the branch itself. I'd have to go back and look but this branch that whacked me was bigger around at the break than my thigh. I think. Of course it might have just felt that way and I'll have to eat some crow later. Lol Wouldn't be the first time.
