In all honesty I don't think wyoming really gets the ice storms that wetter parts of the country do. Wydot calls a sheet of white ice ( that is usually just snow that melted and then froze again) black ice. I've never seen ice in wyoming that compared with a true ice storm I once saw in western Oregon.
It sounds a little stupid to be talking about different kinds of ice, but a true ice storm will make walking a real challenge.
I saw a teacher in Atlanta being interviewed about staying overnight at the school with the stranded students. She said the kids loved it, thought it was just a big sleep over. Meanwhile moms and dads are in a panic over trying to get to the school.
