The ice storm hit west and north of me, it was a non event here. I haven’t gone over to survey the damage but in general I’m glad I didn’t have it here and have to deal with working in it.
I had 70 gallons of gas for the generators on hand and backup Internet in case the fiber got pulled down… didn’t lose power. They cancelled school, but there wasn’t a winter storm for us.
We’ve had ice storms here before in my life. Wind related storms are more memorable and impactful here, so far.
Overall it’s just the news cycle; it was unfortunate here but it wasn’t cataclysmic based on what I’ve heard (or haven’t heard otherwise).

I’m gonna guess a few.
I’ve got a buddy who used to power lift 6’2” 340lbs. Not really fat, some pudge, but just a big dude, could easily have played pro football. So he goes on to win a bench press competition and they tested his blood for roids but find he’s still drunk from the night before. He still won because alcohol isn’t considered performance enhancing. I think his BAC was something like .12.
