FULTON - As the temperature drops, folks in Fulton are still cleaning up after an icy night tears up their neighborhood.

A holiday greeting from the sky in the form of an icy tree wouldn't bring cheer to anyone. Except maybe Stephanie Dwyer.

"I'm going to take a pictures of this and it's going to be my Christmas card this year, it's gonna be like tis the season. Won't that be great," she asked.

Nothing like a little sarcasm to mend what ice and trees can do to a Fulton neighborhood.

"Nothing's on the house, but it's on the car," Dwyer said.

The weekend ice froze one block the worst. Greg Mooney's car was one victim of the ice.

"Vehicles like this one caught by the winter storm," he said.

Dwyer's trees were caught too.

"It's like a half inch of ice on these limbs, it's just too heavy for those," Dwyer said.

Crews are still finding new damage. That means power's out for hundreds here.

"A lot of power lines down, polls snapped in half...that's bad," Dwyer said.

But at least her house is okay... For the moment.

"I'm just waiting for the rest of those limbs to come down and I'm hoping they don't land on the house," Dwyer said.

As the sudden storm leaves her car a mangled mess, ice holds what's left of the windshield together.

"I don't know a lot about cars but I know that's a problem," Dwyer said.

A problem that won't get better as temperatures continue to drop.
