10 days ago...ah, so that does make sense then. I was under the impression this happened this week or something, which meteorologically makes no sense since there would have been no way for ice to have formed instead of snow with this deep of cold air. But, it could have happened 10 days ago since teh cold air was less strong.

Thanks for the info. It sounds pretty bad......being without power in this cold (heck, it got down to -8 below here in central KS last night.....I can only imagine how bad it is in SD) has got to be terrible. I hope power can be restored quickly.

There was a similar situation in '91 in MN. They only lost about 300 transmission lines. It took 2 months to restore power. They didn't have the shortage of supplies due to the hurricanes.
