Big ice storm in Rochester

For those who are reading this who live in Rochester, this is not news at all, but for those not in the general area, Rochester had a HUGE ice storm this past weekend. I'm told that the last ice storm like this was back in 1991. As I was driving home from my friend Jim's, I noticed that everything seemed a bit darker than it should be. Then I came upon 3 sets of traffic lights, none of them were working.

When I got home to my apartment, we had power but not cable or Internet. The next day I found out that over half of my apartment complex didn't have power...so I was lucky. Anyway, it's monday now, and on the news it said as of this morning 69,000 people still didn't have power! That's about 3 days with no power (some people even lost power Thursday night)...pretty crazy. Anyway, I took some picture's friday morning, they're below.
