This past weekend we received a "wintry mix" of weather that blanketed the area in ice. Fortunately not as bad as 1994. I read in the news that about 17,000 people lost power compared to 250,000 in 1994. We lost power for a few hours during the night, and I heard that others were without for a couple of days.

We ended up riding 8 miles, including a stop at the Water Spray Park which was covered in ice.
