During christmas here in ohio, we got hit with a major ice storm. Some people, like my mom, had no power for almost 6 days. Here's a picture I took of some kind of berry tree in her neighborhood. Everything in the city was coated in ice like that. Even my friggin car. My friend broke his door trying to get in it.
Fortunately, I was one of the few ppl who didn't lose power. I think over a million ppl had a cold christmas.

LOL.

We were meant to have the normal old summery christmas down here but it was cool like the rest of the year instead.

Why'd it take you 3 months to post about an event that happened during christmas?

I leave a camera in my car. It takes awhile to use up all the film. And it's only be 2 months!

Why is it pink? Was it the light, or bad film/scanning? Looks good, whatever caused it!

there's red berries on the tree still. with the ice over it, the lighting reflects a redish tint all around.

Yup, that's pretty much how my yard looked as well. We still have hundreds of branches laying around in a big pile. That ice storm took killed and almost knocked over two of our biggest trees. It was pretty nasty.

hmm i think in 2000 or 2001 there was a huge icestorm that hit my area(in oklahoma) there were tons of trees down power was out for a while and heat was out almost everywhere(even some motels(we stayed in a motel cause our heat depened on water for a steam thingy and of course pipes bust)

also i remeber bringign my ps2 and there was a power surge every 30 minutes cause they were trying to get power back up so good thing i had a surge protector

and i remeber tryign to sled down a hill(grass) with ice all over and it was so friggin fun except for when i would hit a tall weed or something it would leave a mark i was goign so fast

quit hiting the computer; computers can only do what they are told so we must be telling them to do wrong things
