| Episode Narrative |
Strong low pressure tracked from Texas through Iowa from December 24-25 bringing precipitation which began as freezing rain in many areas due to trapped cold air at the surface. The cold air persisted long enough to allow significant icing of 1/4 to 1/2 inch in many areas, despite very strong east to southeasterly flow of milder air just off the surface. By midday most stations had risen above freezing and liquid rain was falling. |
| Event Narrative |
Reports of ice accretion up to 3/4 inch northwest of Endicott were received and many large tree limbs and a few trees were down. Around 1/4 inch ice accumulation was reported in the town of Floyd. Appalachian Power Company said several thousand customers lost power, some for several days. |
