If you are in ice right now. There is one thing to watch. The posture of the evergreens.
These trees have evolved through ice and snow. They are designed to bend downward instead of breaking.
Right now I am surrounded by evergreen trees covered in ice. They are holding up well. When the load starts to be too much, the limbs will bend down and rest on the limbs below. They will start to look like a closing umbrella.

If you trimmed off the bottom limbs, there will not be lower support and the whole system may collapse. I have a trimmed evergreen out one window and an untrimmed tree out from another.

These two trees will tell me when/if the ice is too heavy to hold. Once the cracking starts, other types of trees are in danger also.

When this collapsing starts, the probability that you will lose power increases greatly because limbs and trees will come down.

We are also expecting wind later. Wind is not a friend to ice-covered trees. If the temps get really low, sap will freeze and trees will explode.

It is time to watch and listen to the trees.
