Midwest Ice Storms

I live in Michigan, and we are pretty used to snow storms. But nobody can be prepared for an ice storm. Many people have spent days without power, losing hundreds of dollars worth of food, and trying to stay warm in freezing weather.

It is times like this that people come together to survive. You learn who your friends are and who you can depend on.

The after effects of the ice storm were beautiful, with ice glistening in the sunlight. Every tree looked like tinsel. But as the ice melted, the ground was littered with small and large tree branches that couldn't support the weight of the ice.

So this weekend will hopefully complete the cleanup, and everyone will once again have power and heat.
