I have endured/enjoyed (depending on what age I was at the time) ice storms since I was a young child here in north central TX. We will have one every few years. When I was younger things would look like your photo with power lines down and trees split with limbs broken We just had one a few weeks ago but all it was, was 5" of glazed ice on the roads and ground and roofs Trees and such were okay. But it took about a week before it was safe to try to drive on it.
