City of Gainesville employee Frank Hood braves the cold as a crew begins the cleanup process following this week’s ice storm. Hood and crew were working the heavily damaged trees along Ridgewood Avenue.
It’s been a tough week for all of North Georgia. That’s true enough for the region’s trees, which suffered extreme damage due to the week’s ice, wind and freezing temperatures. Local arborists spent the week leading up to Arbor Day busier than ever, assessing and rectifying damage.
