Well I was gone for a few days with no power or net or life so I figured Id share what I woke up to on Friday Morn .... All but bottom pic is 100 yards around my house. The full town looks like this they have called in National Guard and talking utility's will be out in to the new year. Got mine back tonight!!!

I'm sure I'd be one to be called for this thats if my liscence wasn't all messed up (I'm a lineman apprentice) some of my buddys were called out on storm for this from local 42.

unfortunately i know all about "ice storms" here in canada its not that uncommon!! lol a couple years ago some were without power for more then a week and it turned bitterly cold after so the people with electric heat were freezing to death... it wasnt nice at all. but I'm glad you made it through ok and you and your family are safe!! thanks for posting!!

hope you and your family are doing well

Well glad to see ya back on and that you got your power back.

I also unfortunately know how your are feeling. We get a good ice store about once per year. Been about 4 years since we saw it anything close like that. Glad we don't have near as many trees as you guys do along with about 85% of our power lines are below ground.

Looks like lots of clean up.

WOW.. Ice storms can be brutal. They've held Houston hostage a few times.

Aside from all the damage, it looks like you live in a beautiful part of the country.
