83. Ice Storm! ice Storm! The story of the ice storm of 1998 from one individuals perspective. METANAME=. Broken pylon near SaintLambert, On the morning of January 6th. http://windupradio.com/icestorm98/

Broken pylon near Saint-Lambert On the morning of January 6th. 1998, residents of Southern Quebec, Eastern Ontario and the Northern New England States awoke to find themselves in the midst of a severe ice storm, the likes of which had not been witnessed in recent memory. Next Home At the height of the storm in excess of one million households were without electricity. Bridges and roads were closed. As Montreal and the surrounding suburbs ground or perhaps slid to a halt, Municipal, Provincial and Federal authorities scrambled to meet the challenge and ensure the well-being of those so adversely affected. Shelters were set up, the army was summoned to assist the Hydro crews to re-establish the power grid and additional crews of linesmen and lineswomen came from other parts of Canada and the United States to help. It was a time of considerable difficulty and concern for everyone. My sincerest thanks to all those people who gave a helping hand. Many articles in magazines and newspapers, as well as a huge amount of news coverage on radio and television have been devoted to tell the larger story of this storm. I will describe only a small portion from the perspective of one individual.

Operators Battle "The Great Ice Storm" By James Careless e-mail: careless@magi.com It's been rightly called "The Great Ice Storm of '98." For more than a week this past January, a relentless downpour of freezing rain blanketed western Quebec and eastern Ontario with a coat of ice that grew to be nearly two inches thick on wires and tree branches alike. Accustomed to cold weather, but not built for the incredible weight of ice, the communications and power infrastructure experienced an unprecedented failure, including hydro, telephone, and cable TV wires that came crashing to the streets. Hardest hit were the city of Montreal and rural communities on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River. Some of these "South Shore" communities went without electricity for more than a month, thanks to the collapse not just of poles, but major hydro steel pylons as well. (Much of metropolitan Montreal was also without power for nearly a week.) However, the Ontario cities of Ottawa, Kingston, Cornwall and Hawkesbury were also pummeled, as were the small towns and villages surrounding them. As well, all across the region were endless scenes not only of broken poles about 1,000 in all but trees snapped like matchsticks. In fact, it's safe to say that a majority of the trees were damaged by the storm. Their broken limbs and splintered trunks can be seen throughout the region to this day. All told, the ice storm inflicted a devastating natural disaster in a part of the world typically spared calamities such as tornadoes, floods and hurricanes. It surprised Canadians, who had always felt immune to such terrors: that's because the most they're typically faced with is a major blizzard. Such storms are often a cause for celebration rather than fear, because they can result in paid days off from work.

Storm leaves 10 dead, many stranded The Associated Press Members of the National Guards flew over rural areas of the Northeast on Sunday looking for families isolated without power or food since last week's ice storm, and temperatures threatened to drop below zero during the night. Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses still had no electricity across northern sections of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. "I'm a little worried that we're moving into the time when people are starting to lose patience," said Maine Gov. Angus King. "Even though it's sunny now, it isn't over." "Tonight is the night that we've really to look after one another," King said. New Hampshire alone had more than 500 utility line crews from as far away as Delaware busy cutting through downed trees to get at broken utility poles and drooping lines. They were helped by members of the National Guards. AP PHOTO National Guard members work to clean storm debris in front of the local American Red Cross offices in Watertown, NY yesterday. "In one area, in order to connect just two customers, we had to restore about two miles of wires and several poles," said Martin Murray, spokesperson for Public Service Co. of New Hampshire. "It's very time-consuming and tedious."

University of Maine Cooperative Extension COUNTY OFFICES TOPICS OF INTEREST RESOURCES PUBLICATIONS ... UMAINE Recovery of Ice-Storm Damaged Trees, #9013 Everyone knows the now infamous story of the ice storm of 1998. For the thousands of Maine people who experienced the storm firsthand, the descriptions of the extensive damage to trees in landscape and forest settings need no repeating. But, as certain as the severe winter weather will yield eventually to spring, the task of cleaning up the downed trees and branches will shift to attending more closely the damaged surviving trees. Although the methods used to help trees recover from the damage are rather limited, these few simple procedures, when applied correctly, can make a significant difference in tree health. Damage Classes The excessive icing from the storm resulted in several different kinds of damage to trees, and each damage category has specific, long-term consequences to tree health. The first and most severe damage occurs when the main stem, or central trunk of the injured tree, splits off or is broken. Larger, mature trees are most susceptible to this damage. Strength of the remaining stem is reduced immediately. In addition, research has shown that wood decay has a high probability of developing from injuries (areas of the stem where the bark has been removed and the wood exposed) of a size greater than 50 square inches. When secondary stems of multiple-stemmed trees are split away from the main stem, decay will almost certainly occur over time. The decay will further reduce stem strength and result in the tree becoming a potential hazard, especially when in a landscape setting.

91. Southeast Hit By Ice Storm The Southeastern ice Storm of January, 2000 was the latest in a series of winterstorms to affect the Eastern part of the United States in this La Nina winter. http://members.aol.com/windgusts/SEIceStorm.html

ICE STORM HITS SOUTHEAST The Winter Weather has gotten quite active over the past few weeks in the Southeastern United States in January, 2000. North Carolina has received quite a few inches of snow from recent snowstorms while cold temperatures have penetrated the Southern Appalachians. On January 22, 2000, a powerful low pressure system fueled by a strong southerly jet, moved into the Tennesse Valley. What would follow was a mixed bag of precipitation that would devastate Northern Georgia and the Carolinas. Check out Southeastern Ice Storm's storm history Take a look at the chaos to electrical power by this storm Sneak a peek at the storm facts for this Ice Storm. STORM HISTORY The eastern portion of the United States had enjoyed a relatively mild winter until two weeks ago when temperatures started to cool. A more arctic chill moved into the Northeast and New England on the weekend of the 15th of January, 2000. Gusty winds, and bitter wind chills gripped the region. The cold air even penetrated the southern states. Several storms moved across the Carolinas which met snow for the Piedmonts and the Southern portion of the Appalachian trail. However, none of these storms as well as the cold air could not penetrate far enough south to affect Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. However, that would change after the week of the 20th of January, 2000. The arctic chill in the east would get its deepest penetration yet in the South. Temperatures went down in Northern Georgia, Nothern Alabama and Southeastern Tennessee. Forecasters warned of another, more powerful storm in the Midwest that was going to bring a mixed bag of precipitation to the Southeast. On the morning of the 22nd of January, the storm hit. Freezing rain, sleet, and ice rained down on roads, power lines, and trees in Northern Georgia.
