We survived the ice storm of 2004

Wow! What an ice storm we had on 12/23/04 here in Columbus. We had over 2" of ice on everything. I have attached two pictures to give you an idea of what it was like. The trees were bent to the ground, and it was alomost impossible to get into the cars. We lost power for about 15 hours. The office was closed (although I was on my way to work when I got the call). But we survived, went to Wooster for Christmas, where my parents were out of power. Thet stayed without power for about 5 days or so. We stayed at Lisa's parents who had power most of the time. A unique Christmas to say the least. The last couple of days here in Columbus the temperature has reached the 50's and now the ice is gone. Winter in Ohio!!!
