I shiver just thinking about the phrase "ice storm". Had a very bad one last year, so bad in fact that city didn't have all the broken trees cleaned up til this fall. I lost power for a couple days and internet for a week or more. Luckily though this winter, although very cold, hasn't seen a repeat of that kind of ice. I guess we're lucky that it's been so cold, just far too cold for rain (it never got above -7 F today).
