Brrrrrrrr! The 2022 Farmer's Almanac comes with a chilly prediction or warning..... "Prepare for a season of shivers" this winter brings frigid and frosty below-average temperatures across most of the United States and here in Kansas City this prediction deems to be true (so far)!
One day, not so long ago in Kansas City, it was very cold; winter was coming. And all the birds flew away to the warm south, to wait for the spring. The official first day of winter is December 21st, but you shouldn't wait until then to have your trees inspected for potential winter time risks! Remember last year? We had a few snowy/icy events that left people scrambling with tree damage. This year, we've received a lot of questions about trimming - or even - removing trees to prevent the potential risk.
As Americans, we place significance on trees, often naming streets after them -- Oak St., Elm St., Cherry Lane, Maple Ave., Cypress Blvd., Sycamore Dr., and so many more.
I've always wanted to live on Sycamore Dr. It just sounds so lovely and quaint. I picture kids riding bicycles down the sycamore tree-lined street, hopscotch and baseball games, neighborhood cookouts, and warm, cozy homes. I never imagined a tree crashing onto a house or a falling branch, whacking a kid off his bicycle.
But when torrential rain saturates the ground, gusting winds force the branches to sway back and forth, or when ice and snow send the limbs sagging, Do you worry, and run to the center of the house whenever you hear a loud crack thinking, "Who is next"?
How do we know if our birch, elms, maples, oaks, willows, sycamores, Bradford's, ashes, and other urban trees that beautify our urban Kansas City landscape throughout the seasons, will safely co-exist with pedestrians and our property when the weather rages?
