I had some dead elm trees removed by a tree company this past fall that were too close to the house for me to take down. The one dead elm tree I really wanted down couldn't be climbed because of a bad split part way up. The ground at that time was to soft to get the bucket truck close enough to use. I was told to wait until the ground froze. Before Christmas I used my snow blower to make a path for the truck and to allow the ground to freeze. Today was the day. The dead elm is on the ground and most of a double stem paper birch is also on the ground. The guy doing the cutting ran into what could be a steel post in one of the stems of the paper birch. I will deal with that later in the spring.
