Sounds like most people are still doing OK regarding their antennas.  Just a lot of snow here in Batesville. It’s still coming down.
Got the KP5 this evening on 60. Was peaking in single digit minus range.   
I’m using a quarter wave vertical with an elevated ground system
Y’all be safe

Desecheo on 60M only decoded twice for me.  Both times calling an SV.  I have a 30/60M fan inverted V and it was flat 1:1.
It's 14 degrees but the dog tells me it's colder!  I think we have dodged a bullet compared to earlier forecasts.

I have never decoded him on 60, yet.  I only needed a digital Q which I
got but would like KP5 on 60.  But, his signal just doesn't make it to
EM55.  Good luck all.

I hope no one has experienced any damage to their antennas/towers yet. 
MLGW here in Memphis claims the worst is yet to come.  I have no ice on
my aluminum, my rotor turns and I see no ice on the trees, yet. 
However, I would not drive a car on any street around here.

Be safe.
