No Love for the weather man! lol
 
bark looks like pine or even hemlock but the upper branches don't look right for those. Look more like a deciduous tree.
 
Hmmmm......I'm thinking American elm. Cheers!

I'm going to get some leaf pictures this summer of some trees with bark like this that I'm not sure of, I was thinking elm also.

You didn't say that is had leaves - that changes everything. :lol:
 
This one didn't have any leaves but just the structure of the dead tree (in the pictures) seems like something other than pine.

Zap - for a quick check, take a pocket knife and cut a small cross section of the bark. If you get alternating bands of light and dark throughout the cross section, you have American elm. I thought I saw some evidence of this on the photo, but wasn't sure. Cheers!
