Even though there are places without power, without a place to be, the hospitals were in a real emergency here in New England (USA) in places like New Hampshire an ice storm has caused several damages on the roads, some trees felt down, power lines felled leaving about a million of people in the dark, without electricity. 
This storm stared last Thursday December 11. That day, I was attending a lunch at the end I drove the car in the middle of the storm... the whiteness of the road the snow plus the cold (-15ºC)... made impossible to drive, and suddenly I felt something strange when the car slid over the icy road I was loosing control. the car was going to crash against a fence along the road, I pulled out the emergency break and I don't remember exactly what else I did... I got stuck in the middle of the road and somebody who saw me came to me and told me to take the route with salt... I didn't know that.. and it worked.

Well, you know when the storms come, they carry lot of concerns, fear, uncertainty, pain specially is somebody dies. There is nothing to do, there are no controls to avoid these events. What is real is that we can see the other side of the mess, that inexplicable beauty. Now, with a simple camera I have tried to capture some pretty views of this cold place of the country.

This past weekend was sunny and cold, but I could enjoy the brightness of the ice on the trees.
