Ice storm #2

We just had our second ice storm.  The temperatures and moisture content of the air are just right to coat the trees with ice.  The result can be visually unusual but the situation creates an overload of broken power lines.  I am an ex-Boy Scout and I know humans can do all right without electricity. But we are used to having a supply and the things we derive from the supply such as tv and digital communications.  

I am surprised that as the day warms, ice on trees not only falls off but it often bounces when it hits the ground.
