This storm reminded me of how great our Father is- what an example of His power and our lack thereof.

We had ice here in NM a few years ago. It is always cold enough in winter for ice but the precipitation is very low so not much snow or ice.

This particular ice came from a broken sprinkler on the golf course. There was enough ice to skate on.

I shall never again complain about the winters in upstate South Carolina. A couple of years ago, we were without power a little less than a week due to an ice storm, but that bit of winter weather we experienced pales in comparison.

Andy - It was that bad! Laurie - People with wood burning stoves have fared best. Most everyone else has used either gasoline-powered generators or kerosene heaters. The problem with both is that if they're improperly used, carbon monoxide poisoning can occur. There was a case a few miles from here yesterday. Ron - Some folks here may not get power back for two to three weeks. I saw a 94 year old woman on the news tonight say that she's lived here all her life and never seen anything like this.

WOW!! Amazing pictures. Glad you’re all okay. How are the folks without power keeping warm?

I had no idea it was this bad. That tree branch sure is spooky looking!
