In my area we had a about 1/4 of ice on everything...except the roads.  Ground temp was too warm.  We lost power for about 3 hours.  I made great use of my EDC light (JetBeam Mk II) at work.  I also have an LED lantern, snacks and bottled water, basic tools, batteries and a radio at work.  In my area, the storm was a minor inconvenience.
40 mile north of me ~250,000 people are without power.  Many are without water, too.
