25. The Worst Ice Storm In Canadian History? - Ice Storm '98 - [Meteorological Servi ice storms are often winter s worst hazard. More slippery than snow, Based on these criteria, Ice Storm 98 was the worst ever to hit Canada in recent http://www.msc-smc.ec.gc.ca/media/icestorm98/icestorm98_the_worst_e.cfm

Ice Storm '98 MSC EC GC The worst ice storm in Canadian history? While freezing rain is not an uncommon Canadian experience, the ice storm that hit eastern Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick was exceptional. Environment Canada senior climatologist and resident climate expert, David Phillips, provides us with his analysis of how Ice Storm'98 stacks up in the record books. Ice storms are often winter's worst hazard. More slippery than snow, freezing rain or glaze is tough and tenacious, clinging to every object it touches. A little can be dangerous, a lot can be catastrophic. Ice storms are a major hazard in all parts of Canada except the North, but are especially common from Ontario to Newfoundland. The severity of ice storms depends largely on the accumulation of ice, the duration of the event, and the location and extent of the area affected. Based on these criteria, Ice Storm'98 was the worst ever to hit Canada in recent memory. From January 5-10, 1998 the total water equivalent of precipitation, comprising mostly freezing rain and ice pellets and a bit of snow, exceeded 85 mm in Ottawa, 73 mm in Kingston, 108 in Cornwall and 100 mm in Montreal. Previous major ice storms in the region, notably December 1986 in Ottawa and February 1961 in Montreal, deposited between 30 and 40 mm of ice - about half the thickness from the 1998 storm event! The extent of the area affected by the ice was enormous. Freezing precipitation is often described as "a line of" or "spotty occurrences of". At the peak of the storm, the area of freezing precipitation extended from Muskoka and Kitchener in Ontario through eastern Ontario, western Quebec and the Eastern Townships to the Fundy coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. In the United States, icing coated Northern New York and parts of New England.

On this page: Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping winter storm Wikipedia winter storm A winter storm is a storm in which the dominant varieties of precipitation are forms that only occur at cold temperatures, such as snow or sleet , or a rainstorm where ground temperatures are cold enough to allow ice to form. These storms are not restricted to the winter season, but may occur in the late autumn and early spring . The most powerful winter storms usually occur in March and, in regions where temperatures are cold enough, April Snowstorms Snowstorms are storms where large amounts of snow fall. Snow is less dense than liquid water, sometimes by a factor of 10. Therefore, an amount of water that would produce 2 cm (0.8 in.) of rain could produce as much as 20 cm (8 in.) of snow. Five centimeters of snow (2 in.) is enough to create serious disruptions to traffic and school transport (because of the difficulty of maneuvering school buses on slick roads). This is particularly true in places not habituated to heavy snowfalls (e.g., Atlanta Seattle London ). In places where snowfall is common, such as

Strong winds with these intense storms and cold fronts can knock down trees, utility poles, and power lines. Storms near the coast can cause coastal flooding and beach erosion as well as sink ships at sea. In the West and Alaska, winds descending off the mountains can gust to 100 mph or more damaging roofs and other structures. Extreme Cold Extreme cold often accompanies a winter storm or is left in its wake. Prolonged exposure to the cold can cause frostbite or hypothermia and become life-threatening. Infants and elderly people are most susceptible. What constitutes extreme cold and its effect varies across different areas of the United States. In areas unaccustomed to winter weather, near freezing temperatures are considered "extreme cold." Freezing temperatures can cause severe damage to citrus fruit crops and other vegetation. Pipes may freeze and burst in homes that are poorly insulated or without heat. In the north, below zero temperatures may be considered as "extreme cold." Long cold spells can cause rivers to freeze, disrupting shipping. Ice jams may form and lead to flooding.

Staggering winter storm statistics show that 70 percent of winter storm deaths are automobile related. One-fourth of winter storm fatalities are the result of individuals being caught in the storm and more than 50 percent of these deaths are males. Not only can winter storms cause hazardous driving conditions but they can trap you in your vehicle. Have a disaster supplies kit and keep it especially equipped for your vehicle at all times, you'll never know when you'll need it. Make sure it includes blankets, jumper cables, a small shovel, a container of sand for traction, and a set of dry clothing. Knowing the weather terminology: Snow: frozen precipitation in the form of ice crystals. Blizzard: wind of 35 miles per hour or more with snow and blowing snow reducing visibility to less than 1/4 mile for a period of at least three hours. Sleet: rain that freezes into ice before reaching the ground. Freezing rain: rain that freezes on impact with a surface at a below-freezing temperature. Ice storms: freezing rain builds up after hitting cold surfaces.

Stidger, Editor-in-Chief Dallas, Birmingham, and Augusta are some of the cities that seldom face major winter storms. Still, residents dread the forecast of ice. Agencies with only occasional winter weather to battle don’t arm themselves with fleets and plows. And in Dallas, deicing and anti-icing are words only used in the Better Roads’ editorial office. A desultory toss of sand on some bridge approaches, at a few critical intersections and a very few inclines, seems to be the rule of the day in most occasional-ice cities. The new method A new technique uses a mix of hot water and sand, according to Torgeir Vaa, Sintef Roads and Transport in Norway. Sand quality is a critical element, as are the amount and temperature of the water and the spreading speed. Sand should be 0- to 0.16-inch gradation. Water should be from 194 to 203 degrees F. Water should make up about 30% of the total material weight or about 6 ounces per square yard.

Ice Storms: The Great Ice Storm of 1951 Previous Next The Great Ice Storm of 1951 is by far the worst winter storm on record for Kentucky as well as much of Tennessee. The blend of winter conditions necessary to produce the storm came together in late January. After the temperature reached above 50°F on a rainy January 28 th , colder air began filtering into the region, bringing high temperatures of near 30°F and lows in the teens. Precipitation continued and turned to freezing rain. January 31 st brought 1.81 inches of precipitation, including four inches of snow on top of the accumulated ice, with a high temperature of 31°F in Bowling Green. The next day brought an additional five inches of snow and a reinforcement of polar air. When the storm was over, it had left nearly two inches of ice accumulated over a path from Nashville to Lexington, crossing right through the Barren River Area. The ice was covered by nine inches of snow. To make matters worse, record cold temperatures followed the storm. February 2 nd brought a then record low temperature of -20°F to Bowling Green, and the mercury dropped to -18°F the next day before temperatures in the region began to moderate (Harlan, 1952).

38. Ice Storms: Ice Storms In The Barren River Area The historical record of ice storms affecting the Barren River Area is ice storms are random events that occur infrequently in the Barren River Area. http://kyclim.wku.edu/BRADD/icestorms/icestorms.html

Ice Storms: Ice Storms in the Barren River Area Previous Next The historical record of ice storms affecting the Barren River Area is relatively short. Published accounts document events affecting major cities throughout the Southeast dating back at least 50 years (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 1997). Reports of ice storms in the National Climatic Data Center's Storm Data publications are available beginning in 1973 for the Barren River Area. By combining these reports with the longer record of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it is possible to piece together a record of significant ice storms affecting the Barren River Area from 1949 through 1999. Ice storms are random events that occur infrequently in the Barren River Area. Over the period from 1949 through 1999, 33 ice storms were documented. Ice storms occurred in 25 of the 51 years of record with multiple storms in five different years (Figure 8-1). Figure 8-1. Frequency of ice storms by year in the Barren River Area, 1949-1999. Since 1973, 17 storms have hit Bowling Green. Nine of these storms deposited at least 0.25 inch of ice accumulation. These storms caused fatalities and extensive damage to buildings, trees, and power lines. Hart County has been declared a state of emergency due to ice twice in recent years, first in 1987 and then again in 1999. The first of these, 16,000 people were without power, and dairy farmers were affected because their milking machines were immobilized. Approximately 0.25" of ice was recorded at Bowling Green that day.

Even with solid protection in place, achieving optimum security requires constant vigilance and attention to detail. Each day, new threats are discovered – underscoring the need to approach security as a dynamic process. Patch your holes Just like crumbling mortar around bricks, operating systems gradually become less and less secure as bugs are uncovered and exploits engineered. Patching the holes when fixes become available is essential for proper security. If you use Windows, keep close tabs on the Windows Update site or – at a minimum – check for updates once a month.
