| episode_narrative | After January Winter Storms on the 19th and the 26th, a blanket of snow lay across much of the area. A re-enforcing shot of cold air pushed over the area on the 30th of January and remained over the area through the 4th of February. All time record low temperatures occurred at many locations during a 6 day period. Record lows ranged from -25 to -32 for 2 to 3 nights with highs reaching only the -10 to -15 degree range during the day. The extreme cold also caused insulator failures that left thousands without power. The crew would restore power in one area only to have another failure elsewhere. In the Quad City area 1 man nearly lost his fingers due to exposure while he changed a tire on his car. A homeless man lost toes due to frostbite after sleeping oustide under a bridge. Other homeless persons were using busses to stay inside and warm. |
