Late February brought a nasty round of rain and wind - as temperatures dropped, the rain continued and ice began to accumulate on everything. We eventually lost power, as did the entire area, and we were out for 13 hours or so. Mind you, some parts of Detroit were out for nearly a week....so can't complain.
We pulled out the camping gear to make coffee and cook food, and lit the candles. With temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, the house only dropped down to 8 C by the time power was restored.
Luckily, the day after, temperatures shot back up to +10 C, so suddenly everything was shedding ice. We had a fair bit of tree damage, but fortunately all limbs and no major losses. By the weekend we had cleaned up two van loads of brush and taken them away to the yard waste depot.
