| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A storm system moved from the Tennessee Valley on Wednesday (January 7) and Thursday (January 8) into New England thereafter. A cold front across New England and New York associated with an Arctic High Pressure system across Canada resulted in a flow of low level cold air into Vermont. Warm moist air riding over this low level cold air resulted in icing across portions of this area. Significant icing was generally restricted between 1500 and 2500 foot level. Ice accumulations during this event were generally 3/4 of an inch or less. The impact on the region ranged from ice accumulations damaging tens of thousands of trees. Downed power lines resulted from the weight of the ice with several thousands with out power. Farmers who lost electricity were unable to milk cows with loss of income and damage to cows. Automobile travel was negatively impacted with a number of roads closed due to ice and fallen trees. There were numerous traffic accidents.INDIRECT injuries were reported due to carbon monoxide poisoning while improperly using generators. Falling tree limbs and other debris was a significant hazard during and following the storm. |
