3 December 2006. Ice Storm during night. 3/8 inch 200mile diameter

Hugh tree limb 8inch diameter falls on back of RV, breaks ladder.

This limb falls to the out side of the porch steps.

Limb on roof. After ice melted I got on roof to saw off.

1978 Ford parked forward enough that only ends of limbs on it. Luck has it nothing broken.

1987 Chevy also away enough that only ends of limbs on it.

It took me 4 hours to chainsaw and stack limbs on street curb. The city trucks took weeks to haul away entire town downed limbs. So I used my S-10 to gather up usable limbs and logs before the City took it to the landfill.

Way below freezing for a week. 3rd day I took drive for ice photos. Along I-55, 4 miles from my house, very sunny.

Hundreds of black birds caught by the ice storm in farmer fields.

Icy tree limbs bow down to the cleared off payment. IL Rte 143.

A week to gather cut up limbs and logs. Two weeks to cut up into usable firewood; a great start for next winter.
