Ice Storm

On our way home from Wisconsin, Rene' and I hit the tail end of the snow storm that had been a very severe ice storm in southern Michigan the day before...and was currently covering our home and neck of the woods with anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" of ice on trees and brush to  around 1/2" to 1" of ice on the ground.  It was amazingly beautiful and equally distructive (although, not near as severe of damage as we had about 10 years ago when entire trees were falling over with everything covered in at least 1/2" of ice).   Of course, with this much tree damage....power outages were numerous and wide spread and we were personally told that we would be out of power for at least 5 days.  We ended up only having to use a generator for about 36 hours, which we were very thankful for the surprise power coming back on fairly quick...where many people in our area were indeed out for 4 or 5 days.   Here are a few pics of the campground and this ice storm: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2080804&id=1086892434&l=0e533cfcc6
