Worst Ice Storm in 21 Years

So I rescind the comments I made yesterday about the ice storm. It was actually much worse than I initially expected. Supposedly it was the worst ice storm in 21 years. There have been about 1.25 million people in eastern NY and the northeast without power and it won't be restored until Wednesday in some location here in the Capital Region. For more news stories check the following: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. I feel very lucky to have power and heat!

Annoying Ice Storm

Last night was messy. Freezing rain and an icy mix hit most of our region. There was very little snow (none from what I can tell). This made the morning just an aggravation more than anything. Power was out in certain places (2 stoplights) during my way to work, but for the most part it wasn't as bad as it could be. There are about 100,000 people without power as reported by National Grid. Farther west they got much more snow and farther east they got more rain. Lucky for us. Today will just be annoying.
