Havret had two holes to complete Monday morning, while McDowell had four. Rain has interrupted play the entire weekend, and the tournament was reduced to 54 holes. Several players only finished their second rounds Sunday morning, and the Monday finish will be the first on the European Tour since Paul Lawrie won the Dunhill Links at St. Andrews in 2001. France’s Thomas Levet was one stroke behind the leaders with four holes to play. Second-round leader Angel Cabrera of Argentina was three strokes behind with four to play and two-time defending champion Ian Poulter of England was a distant five shots back with just two holes remaining.

Freezing rain and ice storms are a scourge of winter weather, particularly when such weather downs power lines and disrupts transportation. The East suffers through major ice events a few times in an average winter. Less well-known, though, are the damaging freezing rain events in the Northwestern United States. Freezing rain conditions and ice accumulations occur most frequently east of the Rockies, in the Great Lakes, the Northeast, and the Mid-Atlantic States from October to April - 20 or more events per year on average. Meteorologists and other weather watchers still talk about the great January 1998 Ice Storm that devastated New England and Quebec. However, climate analyses show a second freezing rain maximum occurs in the Pacific Northwest - centered over eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and Idaho - with ten to fifteen events per year. These freezing rain events generally arise when storm systems entering the area push onto the coast, following the break up of a strong cold spell. The cold air, being much heavier than the warmer, moist air of the coming rain system, tenaciously guards its hold in pockets of low terrain among the mountain ranges. When rain falls from these storms, some will traverse these cold air pockets and freeze at the surface. If the cold layer is too thick, the rain will freeze before it hits the ground, and that's sleet.

Community Needs Assessment and Morbidity Surveillance Following an Ice Storm Maine, January 1998 On January 7, 1998, an ice storm struck the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. In Maine, 3 consecutive days of rain combined with ground temperatures consistently below freezing resulted in heavy accumulations of ice on trees and electric power lines. Falling trees and branches and breaking utility poles resulted in the loss of electrical power to an estimated 600,000 persons. Although the rain had stopped by January 11, temperatures declined to less than 10 F (less than -12 C) over most of the state, exacerbating the danger. On January 16, an estimated 50,000 households, primarily in the interior portion of the state, remained without power. This report summarizes a community needs assessment and a study of emergency department (ED) visits conducted during the aftermath of this storm. Community Needs Assessment On January 17, residents from 111 households were interviewed. Electrical power had been restored to 75 (68%) of these households, 20 (18%) were using gasoline-powered generators to supply electricity, and 16 (14%) had no source of electricity. All but one of the surveyed households without restored power were in rural tracts. In all households, drinking water was available from municipal service, private wells, or water-distribution points. All but one of the 111 households had water to flush toilets and access to transportation. Telephone service remained unrestored in 14 (13%) homes. Residents were listening to a radio or television in 103 (93%) households and, therefore, had access to public service broadcasts.

Deer in farms, rather than living in the wild. : We don't naturally have deer in NZ but they were imported and a lot of people farm them for the velvet and venison.

Date: February 18, 1998 Forthcoming Catholic New Times , Vol. 22, Issue 4 (February 22, 1998) - by permission of author Press Contact: Richard McCutcheon Ice Storms in the Desert by Richard McCutcheon The recent ice storms in Ontario and Quebec highlighted for Canadians the incredible importance of electricity in a modern industrialized nation. For five days major cities like Ottawa and Montreal were without electricity in the middle of winter. The hardshipsvividly brought to life on our television screenswere real. Water heaters didn't heat, lights didn't light, gas pumps didn't pump, and computers didn't compute. Schools, hospitals, and stores were closed; kids didn't learn, patients didn't heal, and vendors didn't sell. People suffered. In 1991, while in Iraq as a relief worker, I saw an entire country that had been without electricity for months. With the advent of aerial bombardment, electrical grid systems have been a primary target during war. Daniel Kuehl, a military strategist, recently published an article analyzing "Electrical Power as a Target For Strategic Air Operations." He says: "The first week's attacks cut Iraq's generating capacity by approximately 75 per cent, and follow-on attacks extended that even further so that by war's end the system had been reduced to only about 15 per cent of its prewar capability." Engineers in Iraq, laboring under sanctions, were able to restore a significant amount of the electrical grid after a full year's work, according to Kuehl. Imagine, a full year in climatic conditions as extreme as Canadian winter. Except in Iraq the extreme is in the other direction. Consider cities in a desert climate, where freezers don't freeze for monthsin hospitals, homes, truckseverything goes bad. Water systems stopped working, so did sewage transfer systems. Everything stopped working, for months on end.

"Our nationwide system of blood collection and distribution allows us quickly to ship blood to areas experiencing shortages. Because of these storms, we're asking eligible donors across the country to roll up their sleeves and give the gift of life." While the current American Red Cross blood supply is stable with more than 76,000 units in the national inventory system, this weekend's projected bad weather in states such as Connecticut, Georgia and New York could dramatically affect blood collections. To date, weather has severely affected Red Cross blood drives in the following areas: Arkansas Oklahoma Texas Nebraska Illinois "American Red Cross blood donors not only help their neighbors, they also help patients all over the country who need a lifesaving blood transfusion," said Joan Manning, executive director of the Midwest Blood Services Region in Omaha, Nebraska. "We're so thankful to all of our volunteer blood donors whose gift of themselves - a precious raw material - ensure that more than 500 blood units a day are distributed to hospitals throughout Nebraska, Iowa and across the country."

ARCHIVE ON ICE STORMS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK February 14, 1998 Dear friends in Christ, In the midst of many meetings in Fargo this past week, Dr. Leon Phillips (Director, Lutheran Disaster Response) and I met with Bob Bottchen. Bob and his wife Carol have just returned from upstate New York, where they delivered fifty generators from the on-going North Dakota disaster response operation to help with the northeast ice storms. But they did not only deliver generators to the rural homeowners and dairy farmers; they stayed for three weeks to help install, service, and pick up the generators. More importantly, they worshipped and spoke with the local folks and organizations, added moral support, and shared the Gospel of hope. Bob told us the people were truly grateful for Lutheran Disaster Response. "They couldn't believe that a church or church-sponsored organization would care enough about them to travel all those miles, and be willing to loan them a generator at no cost to them...considering Lutheran's are in the minority in this area." Bob shared this experience, which I want to pass on to you: "A man came to the house we were working out of, and asked to borrow a generator. This fellow looked as though he had not been near soap and water for sometime, and really looked very tired. After Carol helped him fill out the paperwork, and I put the generator in his trunk, he shook my hand and thanked LDR for being there to help, and at this time he began to cry, saying that we did not know how much he appreciated the use of the generator, as he had a six week old baby on a monitor and that they had been living in a shelter for the past seventeen days. This generator meant that he and his family could go back home. If this would have been the only generator that was needed, it would have made the trip worth while."

Home Landsteward Reader Response > Weeping Willows and Ice Storms! Weeping Willows and Ice Storms! Dear Steve: Weeping Willow Trees - I live in Zone 5, Northeast Indiana, and in late May 2001 planted about eight 2 ft. Weeping Willow Trees. To date they have done very well reaching over 5 ½ feet each with branches that have a 3 to 4 foot span. As Winter is approaching, I fear that the Ice Storms that are noted for this climate will harm my landscaping wonders. What precautions can I take to protect them? What should I be doing to preserve the ground that surrounds them, besides making sure they have 3 to 4 inches of Mulch at the trees’ bases? Any suggestions you can offer will be deeply appreicated. Kris`ta Hello Krista, The mulch would be a good thing. For ice storms, the only thing that will come to mind is something I saw some folks do in Wisconsin and upstate New York. To keep their evergreens from drying out from windburn they use burlap to wrap around the branches. Then straw bales are placed around the trees to also help keep the wind off. You may try tying your branches up or down when the tree goes dormant then burlap around that. Run a good strong piece of re-bar or conduit next to your tree and stake it so that if you do get an ice storm it will not break off the top of the tree.

Ice Storm Claims Begin Trickling in from Shreveport/Bossier Area January 9, 2001 Consumers in Northeast Louisiana have begun filing insurance claims following the two ice storms that hit the Shreveport/Bossier City area in as many weeks in December. The storms produced freezing rain which led to downed trees and power lines, damaging property and automobiles. Several of the area's major insurance companies, like Progressive and USAA, report few claims filed. State Farm tells the Louisiana Department of Insurance they've received 2,866 homeowners claims, at an estimated $2.36 million. Farm Bureau officials say 214 property insurance claims have been filed, costing an estimated $342,967, and 28 auto insurance claims will cost an estimated $55,483. Allstate reports 67 auto and 1,368 property claims have been filed by customers in Louisiana, as well as Mississippi and Arkansas, where the ice storms also caused some damage. Acting Commissioner of Insurance Robert Wooley says the following action should be taken if consumers have experienced weather damage to their homes or other property: • Contact your insurance company ASAP if your home, business or car sustained damage. Your agent should provide you with claim forms and make arrangements for an adjuster to visit you.

hostName = '.typepad.com'; I Am NOT The Beastmaster Essays, analysis, and commentary from the mind of some other guy named Marc Singer Main March 22, 2004 Ice Storms Novelist Jonathan Lethem, whose newest book is called The Fortress of Solitude , has written a couple of interesting essays (well, one interesting one and one silly one ) on comics, specifically Marvel comics. Lethem makes the well-observed point that almost all of the novels about comics - a growing number, especially post- Kavalier and Clay – aim straight for the iconic 1940s/DC characters rather than dealing with the messier, but perhaps more interesting and certainly more emotionally involving Marvel characters. One exception is Rick Moody's The Ice Storm , which I finally picked up over the holidays (the same day I bought The Starry Wisdom ), purely because it makes extensive references to early 70s Fantastic Four comics. Were that the book’s only virtue I would probably feel quite the idiot now, but happily, it turned out to be a great novel for many other reasons - one of those books that I read twice in rapid succession, the first time piecemeal because I knew I'd eventually sift through the whole thing word by word yet I couldn't wait to find out how it ended. (Alan Moore’s Voice of the Fire , also visible in the Current Reading list over to your right, currently enjoys this status.)

"Ask not what the Trail can do for you, but ask what you can do for the Trail!" Okay, John F. Kennedy I am not, but if ever there was a time that the Appalachian Trail needs your help, it is now. The Blue Ridge has gotten blasted with the winter ice and snow storms for the entire length of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Shenandoah National Park. To quote from a message published by the National Park Service "Some sections of Skyline Drive have 30 to 150 trees down per mile, and there are hundreds of snags and hazardous branches hanging from many of the remaining trees. Dozens of miles of trails, including the Appalachian Trail, are similarly covered with hundreds of downed trees. In some areas the Appalachian Trail is no longer visible." In a second message issued from the Blue Ridge Parkway office, "The damage is comparable to that inflicted by Hurricane Hugo in 1989, but is far more widespread, affecting areas along nearly the entire length of the parkway."

This Month's Calendar Special Events Publications from The Daily Pennsylvanian 'Ice Storm' author storms campus Rick Moody drew a big crowd to Kelly Writers House last night. By Brennan Quinn September 29, 2000 After Rick Moody finished his reading at the Kelly Writers House last night, he was asked by an audience member if he is ever unsuccessful when he experiments in his writing. The answer is almost irrelevant because his career speaks for itself. Moody's work has appeared in publications like The New Yorker, Harper's and Esquire, and he's accumulated enough awards during his life to be considered an eminent contemporary writer. So to make a long answer short, Rick Moody's not exactly accustomed to failure. Moody spoke before a standing-room-only crowd of more than 60 students, professors and fellow writers. Others listened to Moody through a live Webcast. "It's fun to go to campuses, and it's an opportunity to test new material that I read on bookstore tours," Moody said of his visit. Moody is best known for his novel The Ice Storm, which was made into a critically acclaimed film directed by Ang Lee and starring Kevin Kline, Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci and Sigourney Weaver in 1997.
