Freezing rain downs trees and power lines

2/5/2014

 
    Freezing rain fell across the Southern End on Tuesday night, February 4, and well into the following morning. Ice felled trees and limbs and brought a section of power lines and poles down on Robert Fulton Highway (Rt. 222) just north of the village of Mechanic Grove.
    Traffic was detoured over Church Rd. and Center Rd. until PPL could clear the lines and reset poles.
    Solanco closed school for the second time in three days. School was also cancelled on Monday, February 3, after six to eight inches of wet snow fell across the area.
    Runoff from Tuesday night's storm flooded sections of some roads. Temperatures were forecast to drop into the teens Wednesday night, bringing the threat of icy roads after dark.
