Potential Ice Storm, Prepare in Advance for New Year
Fredericksburg, Va. –Flooding and freezing rain were not what we had hoped for to kick off the New Year, but Mother Nature seems to have other plans. Take steps now to prepare for possible outages as a low pressure front moves into parts of the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) service area late Thursday and into Friday, New Year’s Day.
Forecasters caution the front could bring flooding rains, followed by freezing rains in the higher elevations in the counties of Clarke, Warren, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Madison and Greene. It is predicted that some of these areas could see up to a quarter inch of ice, which can wreak havoc on trees and power lines.
