| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Freezing rain and freezing drizzle from the early afternoon hours on the 4th through around noon on the 6th at elevations above 2800 feet resulted in major accumulations of ice on exposed objects. At elevations above 3600 feet, ice accumulations were up to 5 inches thick. The weight of the ice brought down power lines, power poles, and trees. Power and phone service was out for several days in most areas and up to a week in some areas. The worst hit area was on Poor Mountain near Roanoke where several transmission towers were damaged or destroyed and several radio antennas were destroyed. More than half the trees in this area were severely damaged. |
