Historic Ice Storm

Working with Mike Seidel for the Weather Channel up in Jonesboro. It wouldn't stop raining and freezing on contact. Almost two inches of ice in places. Over 200,000 without power and several deaths from this event. It look like a crystalized world when it finished and the sun came out.
