| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Freezing rain during the morning and early afternoon hours on the 28th resulted in significant accumulations of ice above 1900 feet. The weight of the ice broke off tree limbs and downed power lines and telephone lines. There were several power outages and some traffic accidents reported. Bath County was hardest hit with numerous trees and tree limbs down. Power was out to 1600 customers at the height of the outage. Some of these people also had no phone service. School was closed across Bath County on the 29th because some roads were still blocked by trees. |
