The other night, it was windy. It kept me awake, but I didn't hear a lot of things crashing to the ground. However, trees falling in the forest, sound or not, end up all over the ground. Was it a hurricane? I haven't seen this much blow down since the Snoctober thing. Do trees snap easier when they've got less water in them due to cold temperatures and winter things? Are these questions answerable?

Most of the fallen trees this time were evergreens(more sail area) or deciduous trees with some degree of decay.frozen ground helped prevent total uproot blow overs.
Do the trees dry out and become more brittle?
Oddly didn't see that much blow down in South Glastonbury on Saturday while riding / hiking.
Trees are more brittle in cold spells from less water absorption through roots(ground water frozen)
Sounds like the days that preceded the day of high winds.
