Make me think of the ice storm we had several years back. Montreal, and much of 
Quebec, was blacked out for a week, we almost ran out of water, the army was 
called in to shot off the ice clinging to the buildings, and most of downtown 
was offlimit to everyone. Sheets of ice up to 5"+ thick, and over 10' whide 
faling from 10 to 40 stories over you, it's a very scary tought.
