Don't have a 1600' TV tower in the back yard, but I'm real familiar with
the effects of ice falling off of trees & power lines.
This is more like the effects of ice I've had to deal with.

Mostly I avoid it by staying the hell off the road without an EXTREMELY
compelling reason to go out.

Here's a video from a 2007 ice storm in Oklahoma and chunks of ice
falling off of a communication tower, with some impressive results.

There appears to be some kind of freeze line that runs right along I-85.
I think it's just a coincidence to where the highway was built, but I've
noticed over the years that there's a divide that follows the highway
... north & west of the highway winter weather tends towards snow and
south & east it tends toward sleet/freezing rain.

Cool pic. People don't realize what a hazard that stuff is when it
falls, though.
Atlanta—inside the Perimeter anyway—is “the city built in a forest.”
Lots and lots of mature trees. Get up in a high-rise, look down, you
don’t see buildings. You see trees. Late winter-early spring we’re
always at risk of getting rain right around freezing temperature. Ice
builds up on trees. Branches start falling. Then trees. And with them
the power lines. It’s worth putting up with, though. The trees are
one of the truly wonderful things about the city.
