Ice Storm in CLAIBORNE, LOUISIANA
From 12-DEC-00 22:00:00 to 13-DEC-00 16:00:00 (CST)
Reported by: EMERGENCY MANAGER

An artic airmass spilled southward out of the central plains and into the lower Mississippi Valley.  This cold surface airmass was overrun by a warm and humid airmass which combined with a strong upper level storm system across west Texas.  The result was widespread freezing rain.  Ice accumulations on average of one inch were common north and west of a line from Mansfield and Arcadia to Farmerville LA.  An estimated 235,000 residents lost power from snapped power lines.  Upwards of 29 transmission lines atop "H" shaped steel towers were snapped due to the weight of the ice.  One man was killed and another injured when a tree limb laden with ice fell on them.  Numerous traffic accidents were reported from ice covered roads and bridges.  In the Shreveport - Bossier metroplex more than 205 streets were either blocked or partially blocked by limbs and fallen trees.  Much of northwest Louisiana was declared a disaster area.
