February in Lancaster belongs to the lake: bands of Erie snow cross the flat farmland and stack along Cayuga Creek until the maples on Central Avenue are bent white. Greg's Tree Service knows what that weight does to an old crotch in a silver maple, and knows it usually shows itself the morning after. Storm damage cleanup here means limbs off the walk, off the porch, off the car, and the wood hauled instead of left in a heap by the curb. In milder weather, pruning and trimming take out the brittle branches and crossing limbs that make a tree fail in the first place. Removals go the same way — planned, quiet, and finished before the street notices.
