The Weight of Ice

7月 12, 2010 · Posted in 未分類 

An ice storm made history in New England in February, 1898, when the formation of ice was so astonishing that a plaster cast was taken of one of the ice-encased wires of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, and is now exhibited in the Bell Historical Museum, in New York. The wire, with its’ coating of ice, weighed 3.2 pounds to the linear foot. In its general effects this storm was, however, eclipsed by the one of November 27-29, 1921.
