Christmas 2004 was a memory for most of us for sure, it brought widespread power outages, dumped more snow than Santa needs and made many homes and trees sparkle with ice. Course the trees couldn't stand the weight of the beautiful ice and lost many limbs to fall on power lines.

The Christmas Eve was a very memorable one for many families and not soon to be forgotten. The sound of generators filled the air in many towns as people struggled to stay warm and carry on for Christmas.

A beautiful view from the water tower in Millersport overlooking BuckeyeOcean !
	No swimming in the pool, not even for ducks and geese who look for an opening on any pond.
Another view of Millersport and Sunfish Bay frozen over.
	The frozen tundra of Hansberger Farms can be seen in the distance.
White snowy frozen ice fields heading out ST RT 204 towards ST RT 37 provides a buffer between the encroaching developments and small towns.
	Many schools were out and many let out early before the storm hit.
Trees were not the only covered objects around Millersport, streets and vehicles needed picked out also. (photo C. Hiles)
	Power outages were caused by a majority of downed trees and limbs, but power lines themselves were ice covered and became very heavy. (photo C. Hiles)
The trees were very beautiful basking in the sunlight. Even at night under the full moon they were a holy sight. A full moon  that gave most of us light when the power was out for days. (photo C. Hiles)
	Weldons Ice Cream had a tree in the parking lot come down over communication lines for Avolve, but never halted internet service. (photo T. Nicholson)
The limb that fell at Weldons, internet service was restored as soon as portable generation was started within a few hours. (photo T. Nicholson)
	Much worse damage than at Weldons can be seen all around the area and the state of Ohio. (photo T. Nicholson)
