As I look out at the ice laden trees  I am wondering how many went down on local courses  Could this be mother nature ascribing to the prevailing aesthetic on this site?

next we get the mudslides to create the mounds to replace them

Dave,

The last major ice strom in Buffalo took 2-3 months to clean up.
It cost the Park CC (Alison) 135 large deciduous trees.
Another 300 - 400 needed work by an arbourist to save them.

There was a full inch of ice on the trees and they were all leaning with the weight.
Not sure what you have, but that offers a reference point.
