Northern Michigan experienced a devastating ice storm. View some of the photographs from social media

Statewide icing records are still being compiled following a devastating ice storm that struck northern Michigan from Friday evening to Monday morning.

“This is easily the worst ice storm in modern times — in the last 50 years — and you have to go all the way back to 1922 to find something even remotely close,” Harold Dippman, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Gaylord, told the Petoskey News Review.

“It’s a generational storm; one people will talk about for the rest of their lives.”

Some Michiganders, who are currently surrounded by frozen trees and power lines, took to social media to share photos of the aftermath.
