I honestly cannot remember if 98's ice storm froze stuff as intensely as in the picture above, but the article is still a very interesting read.

Schools closed for two weeks FTW.

Heh, I posted similar pics from the same lake nearly 5 years ago :)
Click on the "Ice Storm over Geneva" picture for the full set. Pretty amazing.

I was in Southeast Texas, Beaumont, when the ice storm hit in 1998. I was just talking about it this morning, before I saw this, heheh. It wasn't as bad as this, but everything was out for about 2 weeks.
