or has it stopped? Another 1/8 of and inch or so and limbs will start snapping off and sound like a battlefield. Then the electricity goes off. Ice is very destructive when it's on surfaces it was never meant to be on. Good luck! 🥶

We had an ice storm that covered most of New York state and parts of Canada in the 90s. It took some places 2 months or more to have their electric power restored. We received a little over an inch of ice. That's how destructive that stuff is.

Stay warm!
