Tips for removing snow from trees:

  • Be aware that accumulating snow, ice, or wind could cause limbs to break and fall at any time.
  • Check to make sure the tree is safe and clear of all utility lines prior to removing snow.
  • Do not attempt to shake snow off a tree if a utility line is going through its branches or is within contact distance.
  • If the tree is clear of utility lines, use a broom to remove as much snow as possible from branches by brushing off or gently shaking. Avoid large, rapid movement as this could cause the limb to break.
  • Do not attempt to climb a tree or use a ladder to reach higher limbs.

If it appears the tree has fallen on powerlines, it's best to leave it alone and wait for the utility to come and clear it.
