What is a ice storm warning?
An ice storm warning is issued when freezing rain is expected to build up enough ice to bring down trees and power lines, commonly a quarter inch or more depending on the local office. Ice storms can cause widespread power outages that last days and make roads and sidewalks treacherous.
What to do
- Prepare for long power outages: flashlights, batteries, water and a safe heat source.
- Never run generators indoors or in a garage.
- Stay off the roads until crews treat them.
