2013 ice storm in watertown ny

[L0B6Z]

I am currently working in Watertown on this ice storm and its pretty crazy.. We had a highline go down, half of the town went out. Atleast 1" of ice.
drove my Jetta in and really wish I had my duramax.

pics will be up once I get them on a computer.. Probably going to be here till after new yrs

We had 1/4" of ice last night. Looks like Ive lost a bunch of trees. Gonna be a very expensive springtime this year getting crews in to remove what's left. Oh well, its lots of firewood for someone. Ive got to get my workclothes on, go get the chainsaw fired up and get some of the smaller limbs cut up/moved. Sucks.

4-5 inches of ice covering everything at work. Spent all day yesterday just chipping ice

I thought it would've been warmer down there, almost 60 in Ohio!

always seems like that area gets hit pretty hard w/ the ice storms. I was up in Canton years ago and the devastation was unreal. Stay safe and don't hold your breath on help from the douche cuomo.

I work at a ski mountain we have been closed for 3 days because of this storm. Started with the ice and now wind speeds as high as 70 with gusts of 120 at the summit

I'm a apprentice with 1249 and we are mainly just seeing what's coming tonight. Got a few people back in service. Had a tree just miss a working foreman while he was working.. Crazyness. Depending on what happens tonight might be here till the new year!!!

We drove through the start of the storm that hit OK. Road crews did a hell of a job early on. I could roll into most of the time without the truck doing much more then getting a little sideways. Now pulling off to get fuel was interesting on the other hand. I had a good 11/2" of ice allover the truck and my antenna was froze with a curve in it.

Thats what my yard looks like. Lost 4 trees. My route wasn't much better. Power out everywhere. Tree limbs blocking roads/driveways.

Only lost power for one day, thank God. My thanks go out to the guys who sacrificed to get the power back up quickly.

One thing: people forget that when a traffic light is out, the intersection becomes a 4 way stop! There are dumb SOBs everywhere that will blow thru dead signals!
