Ice Storm Pummels Midwest

The Friday, December 19, 2008, ice storm, which cut a wide swath across the Midweste United States, also touched Plymouth, Illinois. The storm snapped some trees, as shown in this video, and left an icy blanket over trees. The stark beauty of the ice gives the video nearly a "black and white" appearance in many places. Plymouth was fortunate, with only minor reports of service disruptions, which also included some nearby communities. This video is typical of scenes in this western Illinois area.
