New England Ice Storms

Ice Storms Pose Major Problems When They Hit

Nearly one million people are without power in America's upper northeast after an ice storm swept through. President Bush declared states of emergency for New Hampshire and Massachusetts, authorizing federal aid for both.

A massive ice storm hit Arkansas back in 2001, and it was serious inclement weather. This ice storm up north seems to resemble the Arkansas ice storm a lot. Icy tree limbs have roads blocked. Nobody has electricity. People in rural areas are likely taking the hardest hit.

Whenever the Northeast has bad weather, it has bad weather times ten. Nor'easters blanket that region all of the time. A heavy snowfall there could break records in Little Rock. Now there is this ice storm to read about. Weather in the Northeast is so hard! States like Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas have tornadoes. California is known for earthquakes. The Northeast has what it has. Thoughts of Miami seem rather sublime at the moment.
