February 2001 Features CONTENTS Ice Storms Make Good Neighbors Missouri crews help restore power in Arkansas and Oklahoma by Jim McCarty photos by Kenny Morris, Barton County Electric Cooperative Imagine doing five year's worth of work in just three weeks. That equals the colossal task accomplished by electric cooperative linemen who came to the rescue of beleaguered crews in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas following a pair of devastating December ice storms. When the first storm hit Dec. 13 Missouri co-ops sent 80 linemen to help out in Oklahoma and Arkansas. They had barely returned when a second storm hit Christmas Day. Before the last lights were turned back on Missouri's electric co-ops would send 122 additional linemen into the fray along with countless trucks, trailers and other pieces of equipment. Some would stay away from their homes until Jan.12. So grateful were the people in Arkansas and Oklahoma for the assistance from Missouri that at one point crews from Webster Electric Co-op were greeted by a man who literally bowed down in the road as they passed. The Webster men reported back to their office with awe at the sight of working in total darkness, then seeing the whole area light up when repairs were made.

I n January 1998, Maine experienced a series of storms that left thick layers of ice over trees, roads, power lines - everything. The result was disaster for many: Ice-laden trees toppled onto houses and knocked out power. At the height of the disaster more than 600,000 electric customers - representing 57 percent of the state's population - lacked electricity. In this site the Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram document the storm and its aftermath in pictures, reflecting the terrible beauty of the ice and the spirit and community of Mainers and those who came to help.

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.

68. Ice Storm! ice Storm! The story of the ice storm of 1998 from one individuals perspective. META NAME= http://www.windupradio.com/icestorm98/

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. 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.

Assistance was made available to help New Hampshire communities (with exception of Rockingham County) recover from the damage through two rounds of community grants. A listing of the communities, project focus and total project value is available. The severe ice storm of January 1998 caused damage to many residential and forest trees in New Hampshire. A map of the ice damage in the state was created using aerial survey data collected by the State of New Hampshire, Division of Forests and Lands and USDA Forest Service. Although storms of this extent are uncommon, trees are often exposed to severe weather conditions and are remarkably resilient. Trees that have not suffered major structural damage, such as split trunks or broken tops, will likely recover with time. Every tree and woodlot is different so it is important to assess the damage before making long term decisions. Even 3 years later assessments continue on private and community properties. The Ice Storm 98 Revisited takes a look at what affect the ice storm had.

A Closer Look At A Rare Situation - Ice Storm '98 - [Meteorological Service Of C For several days prior to the ice storm, a lowpressure weather system over the Texas panhandle pumped El Nino had a part to play in the ice storm. http://www.msc-smc.ec.gc.ca/media/icestorm98/icestorm98_a_closer_look_e.cfm

Ice Storm '98 MSC EC GC A closer look at a rare situation Weather Situation For several days prior to the ice storm, a low-pressure weather system over the Texas panhandle pumped moist, warm air from the Gulf of Mexico into southern Ontario and Quebec at cloud level. At the same time, over Hudson's Bay, a large stationary Arctic high pressure area maintained a northeasterly circulation over central Quebec draining very cold air into the St. Lawrence and Ottawa River valleys. Unable to dislodge the heavy, cold air in the river valleys, the southerly current overrode the wedge of cold air at the surface, setting the scene for the onset of freezing rain. The weather remained unchanged through the week. That was because out in the Atlantic near Bermuda, a large high-pressure system blocked the Gulf storms from following their normal track across the Atlantic and northward to Iceland, where most storms from North America die. Instead, like a boulder in a stream, the high pressure diverted the bulk of the moisture farther west along the western flank of the Appalachian Mountains directly into Ontario and Quebec where it collided with the cold Arctic air. Streams of wet, mild air pushed northward throughout the week. Copious rains caused deadly flooding in some American states and brought a wet January thaw for much of southwestern Ontario before heading into eastern Ontario. Late on the 9th, the main weather system broke down, and surface winds veered to southwesterly across all of Eastern Ontario.

78. Operators Battle The Great Ice Storm An article about from the online source of broadband communications, CED Magazine. http://www.cedmagazine.com/pm/98sp/98spc.htm

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.

Snow and Ice Branch Research on Ice Storm Hazard Mitigation NEWS STORY JANUARY 2001: CRREL Ice Storm Team Heads South Members of CRREL's Ice Storm Team, do just what most people avoid doing at this time of year. They head right for an area that is hit hard by an ice storm. They went to Texas in early December and Arkansas in late December. When the Ice Storm Team follows a storm, they survey the storm footprint, measuring ice loads on trees and wires and documenting the associated damage. They also use data from weather stations in the region to estimate ice loads for comparison with past ice storms. CRREL researchers study a number of facets of ice accretion on structures, including frequency of damaging storms, extreme ice loads (see Western and Eastern US maps), infrastructure damage, and ice-phobic coatings. Through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement ( CRADA ), private industry can task CRREL to determine site-specific ice storm characteristics or use CRREL facilities to test the ice adhesion properties of materials. See additional images or learn more at CRREL's Ice Storm Hazard Mitigation web page.
