We got a very "light" glazing of Ice here in Iowa, followed up by six inches of snow a day or so later.

The Ice was just enough to make the roads pretty slick. The snow wasn't really heavy, and the snowblower cut right through it.

No power problems here, but even in the worst of storms we hardly ever lose power for more than a few hours. The worst was the Ice Storm of 1990, there was about an inch+ of ice across everything. I still remember the sounds of the tree's breaking, sometimes it sounded like gun-shots. We were without power for a week.

I've thought about getting a whole-house generator, NG/LP capable, but the statistical average for powerloss here in Des Moines in less than 2 hours a year. It just doesn't seem to really be worth it.
