22. Ice Storms In The Midwest Ice Storms in the Midwest Why Central Illinois Tops the Statistics (Peoria, Bloomington, Springfield, Decatur) http://www.theweatherprediction.com/weatherpapers/020/index.html

MAIN HOME ALL HABYHINTS Ice Storms in the Midwest Why Central Illinois Tops the Statistics SANDY GALLANT This picture was taken on December 1, 2006 by Chris Neaville of Mt. Pulaski, Illinois Neaville, a trained cooperative weather observer, measured ice thickness of 1.5” (Picture reprinted with permission from Chris Miller, NWS Lincoln) Freezing rain occurs when liquid rain falls through a shallow subfreezing layer of air near the ground (Lutgens and Tarbuck). Rain is cooled as it falls through the freezing layer near the surface of the earth. When supercooled liquid strikes the ground that is already below freezing, it freezes on contact. How Freezing Rain Forms in the Atmosphere The end result is ice accumulation on just about everything: roads, yards, buildings and electricity lines. Looking back at local climatology records, freezing rain most typically occur in central Illinois between November and April. A 2004 study written by Climatologist Stanley Chagnon examined the temporal and spatial distribution of ice storms in the Midwest. His report revealed that from the years 1948 to 2000, the highest frequency of days annually with freezing rain in the Midwest (5 days a year) occurred along a west to east zone from Missouri eastward to Ohio that included central Illinois. Furthermore, central Illinois was grouped in an area that averaged the highest number of days a year (7) with sleet from the year 1901 to 2000 (Chagnon, 2004).

It caused massive damage to trees and electrical infrastructure all over the area, leading to widespread long-term power outages. Millions were left in the dark for periods varying from days to weeks, leading to more than 30 fatalities, a shut down of activities in large cities like Montreal and Ottawa , and an unprecedented effort in reconstruction of the power grid.

Ice storms and other severe weather can have devastating impacts on agricultural crops, including perennial tree crops. Major ice storms occur at least once a decade, with truly catastrophic "icing events" recorded once or twice a century within a broad belt extending from eastern Texas through New England. Ice storms can result in overwhelming losses to orchards and expensive cleanup for producers. Because the long limbs of pecan trees act as levers and increase the likelihood of breakage, pecan orchards and groves are particularly susceptible to damage from tornadoes, hurricanes, and ice storms. Ice damage is typically more severe in pecan orchards than other orchard crops. Oklahoma has 85,740 acres of pecans on 2,879 farms. Ice storms struck Oklahoma four times from 2000 through 2007. The crippling ice storm in December 2000, which hit the southeast quarter of Oklahoma, extended into parts of Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. An estimated 25,000 to 30,000 acres of pecans were damaged in Oklahoma during this storm alone.

Ice Storm 1998 Montreal Reduce Reuse Recycle Be Responsible - Be Green No batteries to buy.... No batteries to throw away Green Technology The Montreal Ice Storm of 1998 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.

Families Kids Business Special/Medical Needs ... Contact Us Ice Storms When a mass of warm moist air collides with a mass of cold arctic air, the less dense warm air will rise and the moisture may precipitate out in the form of rain. When this rain falls through the colder, more dense air and comes in contact with cold surfaces, the latent heat of fusion is removed by convective and evaporative cooling. Ice forms on these cold surfaces and may continue to form until the ice is quite deep, as much as several inches. The buildup of radial ice may strain branches of trees, power lines and even transmission towers to the breaking point. One inch of radial ice will bring down tree limbs onto power line. Two inches or radial ice on power lines with bring the lines down because of their own weight, usually taking poles and transformers with them. Either way, ice storms cause widespread power outages. Debris from downed trees and wires makes roads impassible and makes emergency access, repair and cleanup extremely difficult. Sawyer crews have to clear the way before line crew can begin restoring power. The state's largest ice storm occurred in December 2008. The National Weather Service had been predicting a major ice storm, but actually arrived was about twice what was expected. More than half of the state's electric utility customers, which included about two-thirds of the population, were out of power. Some for as long as two weeks. All four of the state's electric utilities were overwhelmed and brought in extra sawyer and line crews from as far away was the Midwest and Canada.

Portland's Paralyzing Ice Storm 2004, Worst in about seven years The Storm began to unfold with an unexpected heavy snow storm on the morning of New Years Day, which was Thursday, January 1st. This snowstorm, however, was spotty, and mostly affected outlying areas to the south of Portland city center, such as Canby and Aurora. In places like Canby, it began to snow around daybreak, and soon 4-6 inches piled up. It was the drier, lighter snow that is so enjoyable, and so unusual in the damp martime climate of the Portland area. The picture on the left was recently published in the March/April 2005 national magazine named "Weatherwise," page 32. This glossy magazine is an excellent resource for those with a serious weather interest, but in most areas you won't find it on news stands, and you will need to get it by subscription. Click here to find out more about this truly excellent magazine. Temperatures stayed a bit subnormal for the next 3-4 days, and then temperatures dived. On both the 5th and 6th highs in Portland at PDX reached only 24 degrees, and with brutal east winds screaming out of the Columbia Gorge...Both of these days broke the old records for "low maximum temperature" for the date by 4 to 5 degrees. On the 6th, all the intoxicating snow fun ended when warm air aloft began to override the cold arctic air.. Then a major FREEZING RAIN event turned the fun into danger that lasted for 3 to 4 long, long days and nights.
