I'd take three feet of snow over an ice storm.

Ice storms are nasty business.

You bet. We were out of power for a.week. Get a 5k generator. You can plug it into an outlet and it.will energize a house. Ice is tbe worst of all

“I’d take three feet of snow over an ice storm.”

I’m with you! Dec. 23rd, 2013 - Dec. 29th, 2013 here in Maine....six days without power, heat or water due to an ice storm.

January 1998 - also in Maine; much more widespread ice storm, 9 days without power or water; telephone out for 3 days....2 inches of ice take down trees, power lines, transformers everywhere.

The people in Indiana have my sympathy.

Agree.....very nasty. Back in 98 such a ice storm killed power in our small town for 8 days....:o) If not for a wood stove, lots of cordwood and 100 gallon bed tanks on my trucks it could have been miserable. At least the house was toasty and we didn’t have to worry about getting to and from work etc.... Ice storms are a SOB !
