Folks, I have a tree, approximately 40 ft about 16" in diameter. Beavers have it 3/4 of the way cut. The tree's canopy weight distribution, branches seem close to the same weight. It's leaning towards the rural two lane road. Very dark, snowing and windy. What is the best way to cut, can I still notch it? Im not worried if it falls in the road, no issues. I can cut it up and probably won't have any traffic issues. Thanks in advance.
Beavers!

I clicked on the thread for a COMPLETELY different reason.
Don't screw with it if it's dark and windy.
Kind of sad it's necessary to point this out.
Also sounds like the beavers may have more sense than the OP 
Beavers are good at getting trees to fall where they want them. They will wait until the wind is blowing towards the road then finish cutting/chewing it down.
You could do the same thing if you want it to fall on the road.

I never said I was cutting it in a snow storm--relax!
Well, mouth it above the damage, then back cut it and drop it.
Ok, sorry. I apologise.
Thank you, today is cold but nice. I'll get it down this am.
Apology accepted !
You said it was leaning but which side is the beaver working on?
