Looks like it was severely weighted, looks like an over extended branch anyway, I'd say snow/ice coz the break looks straight down not twisted as wind usually does. And that's a bare branch (no leaves) so likely it could have been frozen brittle too.
Also, look at the trunk going in the ground on pic 1, this things buried.
Look at the form of the other trees around too in the pics ... no formative pruning anywhere I can see.
