Winter storm damage to trees in Baltimore MD — from ice loading, wet snow accumulation, and the occasional significant snowfall that affects the region — presents a different set of challenges than summer storm damage. Ice-loaded limbs can fail silently and without warning, and the weight of accumulated ice can split multi-stem trees at their union points in ways that summer storms don't typically produce. Post-winter assessment by a licensed arborist helps Baltimore City and Baltimore County property owners identify the ice and snow damage to their trees that may not be immediately obvious but that represents hazard conditions heading into the following growing season.
