JANUARY 2005 ICE STORM PHOTO ALBUM

On January 5, 2005, freezing rain began during the day and it continued until we had coatings of ice in the vicinity of ¾ inch on everything. Tree branches were especially susceptible and trees and branches all over western Ohio were loaded down with the weight of the ice until branches and entire trees snapped off, bringing electric and communication wires with them. Whereas most freezing rain melts off the same day, this time it hung on for days. It was probably the worst winter storm since the Blizzard of 1978.

The following photos were taken by Village personnel on Friday, January 7, and show both the devastation that followed, along with a glimmer of beauty in some scenes.
