ICE STORMS

Freezing rain, cold temperatures, high winter winds. Ice storms have been more common than blizzards. Ice storms are usually non-violent in nature but are commonly known as a gentle rain with just below freezing temperatures. If the conditions are right, freezing, rain can cover everything from trees to power lines, roads, sidewalks, and vehicles. An ice storm can occur with little to no warning, making this type of winter storm extremely dangerous. This as you know, will cause very hazardous driving and even walking conditions.

Incredible Ice Storms

In 1961, northern Idaho experienced an ice storm that produced ice as thick as 8 inches. In 1991, Rochester New York experienced an ice storm that produced 375 million dollars in damages making it the worst natural disaster in New York state history.

In 1994, a severe ice storm hit Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama causing over 1 billion dollars in damages.

As you can imagine the variety of devastation is tremendous. Power outages, vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents. Some of these can be fatal.

Safety

It is very important for road crews to be proactive and reactive to this type of storm. Business and home owners also have to do their part. Keeping sidewalks, parking lots and driveways as clear from snow and ice as possible. This may be a challenge. Business owners have an obligation to do their best to make public walkways, parking lots, and driveways safe for their visitors and employees. Depending on where you live, homeowners may also be held to strict laws about keeping their sidewalks safe during the winter months.
