Default Ice Storm (with pics)

I was in eastern IA skiing from thurs-sat, but drove home at the first sign of bad weather coming. The roads weren't very bad at first, just some minor snow. This slowed the trip down a little, but I thought I'd still try and make it home. I made it about halfway home before the weather actualy got bad. I left with about a half tank of gas, but by the time I passed IA city I was already pretty low. This shouldn't usualy be a problem, but by this time all the electricity was out in every gas station. 40 miles from home I ended up having to dodge powerline polls that had fallen into the road, I wish I had pics of this but it was dark and my phone wouldn't do it justice. 15 miles from home or so we ended up running out of gas in a snow drift, and I had to call a friend to fill us up to make it home. It ended up being a pretty fun drive. Here are some pics from my roomates and I driving around today looking at the damage.


Just a pic from last night when I got home to show you how much freezing rain actualy gathered on the trees.






This was a "road" right before we drove through it.


A pic of some good work on our town square.


Me slipping a canon in my roomate's ass.

Nice pics!

Driving in ice/snow is always an exciting adventure... running out of gas in it would be terrible.

I was doing the driving to get these pics. Not Klompy's skiing trip, just a trip today we took to investigate the carnage of the ice storm. We were actually 20 miles away from home when I noticed my fuel level was very low and all the stations were closed from lack of electricity. We made it back though.

BTW the cannon isn't actually up my ahole.

Suuuuuuure it's not. Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean it's not true.
