As CRREL is located in the middle of the region that was hit by the ice storm, CRREL per-
sonnel and their friends and relations provided additional storm information both from their
personal experiences and additional investigations they had undertaken from their professional
interest in cold regions problems. We also had general discussions on freezing rain with a number
of researchers at CRREL. We thank Jamie DiFillippe, Jean Frankenstein, Marianne Walsh,
Duane Eppler, Cynthia Whitney, Kevin Carey, Bert Davis, Andrew Tuthill, Susan Hardy, Rachel

We thank Ronald Thorkildson (Bonneville Power Administration) and Donald Marshall
(LeBlanc and Royle Telcom, Inc.) for critically reviewing this report. Peter Keene, David L'Heureux,
and Thomas Vaughan handled our many requests for help with photographs, videotapes, and
figures. Gioia Cattabriga edited the report and Sandra Smith assembled it for publication.
