While Northern Michigan is often equated with beauty and tranquility, residents in the northwest region of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula have been devastated by a severe ice storm that some have labeled ‘catastrophic.’
In addition to impassible roads and downed power lines and trees, several broadcast towers have collapsed due to the weight of excessive ice, silencing more than a half dozen radio and TV broadcast stations.

While severe weather caused widespread power outages throughout Michigan’s Lower Peninsula beginning last weekend (March 26 – 27), residents of Northwest Michigan and the eastern UP were socked with crippling ice that knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of residents.
