A PROLONGED DENSE FREEZING FOG EPISODE
OCCURRED MAINLY OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF
THE CWA THAT LEAD TO POWER BUMPS AND
SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES DUE TO THE
ACCUMULATION OF RIME ICE ON POWER LINES.
THESE POWER LINES WERE STRETCHED BEYOND
THEIR CAPACITY. THE EPISODE FINALLY ENDED
WITH SUNSHINE AND MILDER TEMPERATURES,
HELPING TO MELT THE FROST. POWER COMPANIES
DID HAVE TO GO OUT AND MANUALLY CLEAR SOME
OF THE LINES.
