Ice storm got us bad, over 12,000 without power,  13 days without power and 30 days without internet for me and TV streaming in North Mississippi. We had over 1000 line men from other states come and help us.
Had to cut our way out wit chainsaws to the Hwy. .
My 160 Acers has a lot of clean up to do, trees down everywhere.

1994 ice storm it was 30 days without power for me.
I would rather fail at something above my means, than to succeed at something  beneath my means

Hate to hear that Mark. We went through an ice storm a few weeks ago but not nearly as bad. Ice is the worst.Hope you can get back on your feet soon.

Yup ... I saw the National weather and that arctic  storm looked pretty bad back there. We typically get at least a couple of serious ice events here in Oregon every year about this time of year, but we are having just the opposite here. It's going to be 60 degrees tomorrow, the flowering plum tree is in full bloom, and tomorrow im going to mow the grass believe it or not...

Strange weather year.

That's tough being without power so long. Hopefully you had a generator to help keep things running a bit.   Kirk

That's rough 😕   I had a couple days without power last December and thought it was as bad as it could get. Can't imagine 13 days.
