What has been the collective experience of those of you who have ice where you live as to what it takes to bring down Rohn 25G? Luckily we did not have wind. So, what have been some experiences?

We just had an ice storm here in Georgia last weekend. My 15m bracketed tower took over 1" of ice on the tower, rungs and A3S antenna. It all came through unscathed.
