It makes for pretty pictures but that's about all...lol

Nice picture Brian, too bad there is so much loss of power..

We have about the same amount of snow here..but not the ice topping

That ice is terrible. We have had a few of those storms down here..

It's not very often we get it here and I don't recall anything that severe to snap poles..southern Ontario gets it bad..

that ice been there for 5 days,and with the colder weather its not going to fall of soon. while i was working around the house ,you could here ice falling of trees . it sounded like somebody was breaking dishes.

I have heard those sounds as well Brian.. broken branches ...

Could be the sun just melting the ice on the branches and falling off...

That it probably was John.. one storm had a hard time getting into the truck.. it was iced over..

When I lived in Toronto we had a real bad storm in the winter that was a tail end from a hurricane, Lake Ontario had 40 foot waves and the ice build up on the lake shore was unbelievable trapping cars in ice about a foot thick, did all kinds of damage, winds sucked out windows from high rise office buildings ,power lines down, you name it...lol

heres a resume.
