Good luck getting back to normal. It will happen eventually We had a severe ice storm in Kansas a couple years ago. I literally had 6" of solid ice on my yard that lasted from Dec 31 2006 to mid March 2007. I had to remove ice from my sidewalk and my neighbors sidewalks with a pick axe. We had some of the huge steel electric towers that folded like tin foil under the weight. Took everything out of the freezer and put it in rubbermaid containers on the porch since the electricity was out. We made it through without much being said. FEMA didn't show up and nobody blamed the president for the weather (ie, Katrina). We just helped each other out and made sure we all had the things we needed and did without wants for a while. It is kind of a humbling experience. The good news is that if you can get out at all, your rifles will not be affected by the ice. Might as well make the best out of it.

BTW, I made a pretty good ground blind out of some poles I got from our power company and got some new hunting ground because I beat the bushes and offered to help people out when and where I could.
