Winter storm From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Snowstorm 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 Contents Snowstorms Secondary dangers "Wintry mix" Freezing rain and ice storms ... edit 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 where snowfall itself is not uncommon but heavy accumulating snowfalls are (e.g., Atlanta Seattle London ). In places where snowfall is common, such as

July 25, 2005 From fruit-eating fish to ice storm damage in forest streams, Cornell researchers explore ecological issues at annual meeting By Susan S. Lang ITHACA, N.Y. Fruit-eating fish in South America help disperse fruit trees during flood season. Fungi that attack sea fans get even nastier when the tropical waters warm by just a few degrees, and although sea fans counterattack with upgraded defenses, the fungi win out. A moth that attacks pine trees has expanded its range in the past three decades, and tests show that global warming is to blame. These are just three of the research results that almost 50 Cornell University scientists will present at the Ecological Society of America's 90th annual meeting, Aug. 7-12, in Montreal. More than 4,000 people are expected to attend. Below are some highlights of the work to be presented. Fruit-eating fish in South America are so heavily fished that they may not be commercially viable in 20 years. Yet a new study by Cornell graduate student Jill Anderson and her adviser, Alexander Flecker, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB), find that fish that eat fruit not only are critical in dispersing fruit seeds during flood season carrying them five miles in three days in some cases but also deposit the seeds into flooded forests, where the seeds germinate much more quickly after the floods recede than seeds that remain in fruit pulp.

When the meteorologists tell us that a storm is threatening our area, we implement our Emergency Action Plans. These plans detail who needs to do what to keep people safe during the storm and to get us moving again as soon as possible after the storm passes. Our Emergency Operations Center (EOC) uses the latest computer technology to help us decide what we need to do, when, and where. We have sensors on the roads that tell us road temperatures, whether the road is wet or dry, and information about snow, ice, and deicing chemicals on the roads. This information is set by telephone lines to a remote processing unit, and then to a central computer at the control center.We put the highway condition data into our winter storm mapping system, where it is visually displayed on a statewide map. Our maintenance engineers receive this information on their laptop computers and use it to determine when and where to send snowplows and deicing equipment.

A winter storm or blizzard, combines heavy snowfall, high winds, extreme cold and ice storms. Many winter depressions give rise to exceptionally heavy rain and widespread flooding and conditions worsen if the precipitation falls in the form of snow. The winter storm season varies widely, depending on latitude, altitude and proximity to moderating influences.

49. SCFC Results Of 2004 Ice Damage Aerial Surveys Unlike some earlier ice storms, very little windthrow occurred. From past ice storms, we can extrapolate the insect and disease activity to be expected http://www.state.sc.us/forest/id0204.htm

Results of 2004 Ice Damage Aerial Surveys In late January, South Carolina experienced a severe winter storm. This storm brought snow, sleet and freezing rain to much of the state. The freezing rain was a major problem in the midlands and south, where it caused heavy damage to forests in 15 South Carolina counties. The worst damage was to thinned pines where main stem breakage was the predominant symptom. Unlike some earlier ice storms, very little windthrow occurred. Affected hardwoods experienced stripping of limbs, along with main stem breakage. Heavy damage also occurred to trees in urban areas (especially live oak), but this damage was excluded from our survey. From past ice storms, we can extrapolate the insect and disease activity to be expected from this event. Ips engraver beetles will quickly infest broken pine tops. Ips and Black Turpentine Beetles will also attack standing pine boles with three limbs or less. In the past, very few green pines with more than three live limbs were attacked by any bark beetles. Southern Pine Beetle has not been a problem following ice damage in South Carolina. However, several years ago in Virginia, there was a Southern Pine Beetle outbreak associated with ice damage. Luckily, most of the damage from this storm occurred outside the historic range of SPB. As a precaution, we will establish plots in damaged timber to monitor the associated insect activity. Pines may also experience other insect and disease problems resulting both directly and indirectly from the storm injury. Annosus root disease occurs in most of the ice impacted area and may infect stumps of pines removed during sanitation thinning. After infecting a stump, the disease grows through the root system and can spread to and kill adjacent pines. Pine stands with ice damage and previous annosus infections should be clearcut, since the disease will likely kill many of the residual trees. Pales weevil may be a problem on pine seedlings replanted on damaged sites that were clearcut immediately following the storm. The weevils may also attack and kill one or two-year-old seedlings growing adjacent to impacted stands.

Washington, DC 20006 www.RedCross.org WASHINGTON, December 28, 2000 - While no major hurricane or earthquake dominated the headlines this year, the American Red Cross kept busy helping the victims of nearly 300 major disasters as well as thousands of personal tragedies such as residential fires. In December alone, the American Red Cross has already committed more than $1 million to helping families in 27 states -14 major disasters and 13 others- who have recently been devastated by floods, ice storms, tornadoes, blizzards, extreme cold, building collapses and fires. More than 1,100 American Red Cross disaster relief workers have opened 55 shelters or service centers and served more than 40,000 meals while providing relief and assistance to families who have lost their homes during the holiday season. "While the American Red Cross responds to over 63,000 disasters a year, many are in the news only briefly," said Dr. John Clizbe, American Red Cross vice president Disaster Services. "Every day, we are helping families in neighborhoods nationwide recover from disasters whether they are in the headlines or not," he said.

With more severe weather forecasted for this weekend, the American Red Cross is urging donors across the country to call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to schedule an appointment to help keep the blood supply stable. "The American Red Cross ensures people in desperate need of lifesaving blood will get it no matter where they are," said Dr. Bernadine Healy, Red Cross president and chief executive officer. "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.

Cleanup of Pecan Trees Broken by Ice Storms Ag Home Page Agricultural Staff Jr. Beef Excellence Program Consultation Program ... Internships Horticulture: March, 2001 March Table of Contents Other Horticulture Articles by Scott Landgraf Pecan growers across southern Oklahoma are fortunate that the weight of 1 to 1.5 inches of ice that formed on trees during December's storm did not cause even worse damage. At Madill, I gauged that 4.2 inches of rain fell. Had a large portion of that water accumulated on trees and power lines, the mess would have been even larger. As bad as it was, the damage was on the verge of being even more devastating (figure 1), particularly if the wind had begun to blow. Figure 1. Severely broken limbs of a pecan tree (All photos by author) Now that the storm is over, the ice is gone, and the soil is beginning to dry, it's time for the cleanup, but how, what, and where? The first thing you may need is assistance, which is going to vary from county to county. The only way to know what is available is to contact the Consolidated Farm Service Agency office that serves the county where your orchard is located. The agency offers very limited financial support. Don Hassel with Five Star Ranch at Okemah said that in 1987 an ice storm damaged his orchard, the cleanup cost over $100 per tree on a few acres, and he had 3,000 trees. He cleaned the debris from under the trees for $12 per tree.
