Re: OT Arkansaw Ice Storm Back Online
Glad to hear you have your power again. We went 9 days without it in this part of NH in Dec. I tried to drive to work but trees were literally falling across the road as I drove. Turned around only to be cut-off by one. I had a Swede saw in my trunk so I was able to limb it enough to drive under it....
