We where hit with an ice storm just like that one year ago. I was a massive clean up job. There are still tree grinding machines running to this day at some of the bigger drop off areas. The skyline has been changed for generations. Yesterday it was a record high of 77* with 25 mph winds out of the south up until 3:30pm when the wind started to turn around out of the north. It was below freezing by 7pm and 15* when I got up at 5am this morning. We also received sleet and freezing rain around midnight. Lots of stuff closed but no tree damage just the body shops racking up work from the collision damage from icy streets.

Wow, those pics tell the story. I'd rather have a blizzard than an ice storm.

WOW!!!!

That is amazing. My fiance's parents said the National Guard were there in Holden today helping in the clean up of trees and branches.

Well it melted and I've got your water down here in CT. I was evacuated pre dawn Friday night and waded in almost waist deep freezing water to a big 4 wheel drive fire company rescue vehicle. They waited waay to long to come get those of us that live by the water. I couldn't get to the house for a few days but got back in late last night.

I currently call the house on the left home. If there was a car in my driveway it'd be up to the headrests in water!

WOW!!! That is horrible.
Does insurance cover something like that!??
Good luck with everything.
