How Northern Michigan has changed after destructive spring ice storm

The landscape of Northern Michigan has been significantly altered following severe ice storms in March, as reported by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The storms caused extensive damage to trees, many of which snapped under the weight of ice that increased branch weight by up to 100 times. Crews have been working for months to restore affected areas, and visitors can expect visual changes when traveling to places like Harbor Springs this summer. Ron Olson from the Michigan DNR emphasizes the lasting impact of these storms on the region's natural scenery.
