Guys, 

Contact Dr. Paul Manion at SUNY ESF in Syracuse.  He has had crews out all
summer doing survey work on the ice damage in New York State.   He also has a
dataset on forest health in NY for 1996, so comparisons can be made.  Something
like 500+ randomly located sites were sampled this past summer, so there is
lots of data.  

E-mail is pdmanion at mailbox.syr.edu.

You can also get his phone number via the schools webpage at:

Cheers, 

Angelo
