Ice accumulation led to some power outages Thursday with a few spots close to 0.30" of ice. That will end as low pressure departs Thursday night. A break in the weather Friday before another rain or freezing rain scenario arrives to kick off Easter Weekend.

'A little emotional': One year after the ice storm, a maple syrup producer is back to tapping
Jennifer RiChard picked her way through a web of bright blue plastic tubes in the woods. Each tube ran from a tree, carrying sap to a nearby barn to be boiled down to maple syrup. On this cold, snowy morning, though, the trees weren't giving up their sap quite yet.

Alpena announces ice storm debris collection schedule
ALPENA, Mich. — The City of Alpena will begin collecting ice storm debris from residential and commercial properties across the city, with residents able to start placing brush curbside Monday, March 30. Public Works staff will begin collecting debris April 13 at 7 a.m., working area by area throughout the city. All storm debris must be placed between the sidewalk and curb line by the April 13 deadline. "Staff will perform the collection area by area, and will not return to an area if additional brush is placed by the curb after April 13th," city officials said in the announcement. The special collection covers all residential and commercial properties citywide, but officials emphasized the pickup is limited to ice storm damage only. Regular spring trimmings should not be included, as the city's standard brush collection in late May and June remains scheduled. Residents must stack all brush with cut ends facing the street, ensuring branch ends do not extend into the roadway. Public Works crews will leave logs too large for chippers to be collected at a later date. Homeowners who want to keep oversized wood can remove it from the curb line and place it on their private property.
