Two years ago today was the worst ice storm we've ever had. We were without electricity for nearly three weeks. Imagine trees down everywhere, no water, no heat, and no way to get out. Our driveway is 1/4 mile long at the end of a dirt road, my dear hubby had to chainsaw his way out of the driveway and then chainsaw as far as he could up the dirt road that is a mile long. We had to walk to town to try and find bottled water (which was nearly all gone). Thank goodness for the kind couple that picked us up and took us part way into town, and a friend that was able to get us to Walmart and back partway home. He couldn't drive up our dirt road due to the trees that were too big for us to chainsaw away from the road. So we had to carry the water and kerosene home.
Here's a video I took out of the back door. Since we didn't have radio or cell phone service, we had no idea how bad our area had been hit by this storm until we had gotten into town 3 days later.
Today in comparison, is blue skies and spring like. I'll be planting sugar snap peas this afternoon.
