Pretty much all trees drop branches in ice storms. OP asked for a "big" tree.
Some more than others, though. Have you ever watched a white pine after a snowstorm with heavy, wet snow? It's an amazing sight, but not something to have near your house or power lines.
Not if you prune properly:

Removing too many under branches will cause almost any evergreen to collapse under heavy snows.

I do want a tree that gets nice and big. Something not dead in winter for my yard.

Would like it to be pretty big and/or fast growing.
What would work well in DC?
