*** kickin' ice storm
We're still struggling to get power and trees cleaned. The entire area is a complete mess. We got our power back Friday and my grandparents are without power until middle of next week. My wife's friend has said they'll be without another 4 weeks. Has anyone else been affected by these storms??

Yeah, ice storms suck, big time. The electric companies need to keep ahead of the tree trimming. Wires will still come down but they should keep the main feed clear of trees. Too much ice is not a good thing.

Oh, yeah. Power went out about 0630 on Wednesday morning and was restored about 2103 Saturday night. Between filling kerosene heaters, dipping water from a bucket out of the cistern, and breaking ice from stock tanks, we stayed pretty busy and warm. But we helped the neighbors and the neighbors helped us, and that's always the way it goes around here. I do have to admit that for the first time I was thankful to have a cell phone.

still w/o power, got a generator powering the house, kenergy said today could be up to 2 more weeks before we get power. think the power company should stay on top of the trees also, but no one expected the ice to be this bad.

We missed this one, as it all went south. I all have had a bad hard time, will be glad when it is over for everyone. Took a drive to family in the area and it was strange driving for miles and no lights, and the downed trees looks like bombs have went off in some areas.
