I didn't think it got that cold there. Is this normal?

Safe to say that most people who know South Carolina do not immediately associate palmetto palms with snowfall:

Yeah NC has become ICE central the last few years. I lost about 50 trees last year and a few of those fell on classic cars...Sounded like a war zone with all the pine trees exploding...one fell on our truck while we were cutting some others that had fallen across the highway...The M930A2 will see some emergency response action as soon as the dang SF97 gets here! My happy helper has her emergency kit and is ready to roll...literally!

I've heard of these ice storms. I've never seem them in Italy but I was in Canada many years back and watched high line wire towers fall over from the weight of the ice. Incredible! Be careful.

Here she is in the midst of Winter Storm Octavia.
It's been record cold here in Indiana, too. We were down to -14F this morning.

Those FMTV wheels fit it real well. They're a huge improvement over the old budds, in my opinion.

Snow is bothersome, but the ice brings down branches, power lines, and whole trees. Ice is a mess.

I was on a train from Chattanooga to Nashville, and that ice was bringing down trees left and right. It knocked out or ditch lights on the front of our locomotive, and busted the conductors windshield wiper. It's definitely not the one you want.

And a bungie cord to hold it on. Attach it to a small hole in the lip of can and the other end of the bungie to the holes in the heat shield. Keeps the can on and the snow out of the stack.
