| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong low pressure system moved out of the central plains into Ontario, bringing moisture and strong winds to portions of eastern North Dakota. With the temperature hovering around the freezing point, much of the rain froze when it made contact with the surface. With ice built up on trees, many branches broke, resulting in power outages. Most power companies were able to restore power within several hours. A 10 mile section of H-shaped aluminum power poles were snapped by the weight of the ice on the power lines 5 miles north of Valley City. The cost to replace the poles was estimated at 2.5 to 4 million dollars. |
