I was up in Michigan over last weekend and drove back Monday, it took us 12 hours to do a 6 hours trip because of that weather. It totally sucked. Great pics man.

Actually, the weather in those pics looks quite nice.

That was after the storm. Everything has at least of inch of ice on it. Detroit got like 19 inches of snow in a few hours. I was stuck in I-75 for 2 hours while they cleared an accident. Big suck fest all round.

Yes, but the point is the pics aren't of the bad weather happening, it's of the after effects which actually look quite scenic!

Great pictures.

 

Reminds me of what happened here in central/north New England and in parts of NY on December 12, 2008. Nothing like hell freezing over in a night.

Ever been out in the forest after such an ice storm (we call it "IJzel") ? Like you are in a fairytale palace with all the iced over branches tinkling like little bells in te wind. Beautiful too in the sunshine, with litterally billions of ice crystals around.:good: Dangerous too because of falling ice lumps and branches breaking off because of the extra weight..........

 

Houdoe,
