Severe Winter Storms <br /> <br /> 1. Severe winter weather is typically associated with much colder climates; however, in <br />some instances winter storms do occur in piedmont North Carolina. The impact of a winter storm <br />in Cabarrus County can be paral ,yzing. Winter storms produce an accumulation of snow and ice <br />on trees and utility lines resulting in loss of electricity and blocked transportation routes. <br />Frequently, especially in rural areas, loss of electric power means loss of heat for residential <br />customers, which poses an immediate threat to human life. <br /> <br />Draft Annex A v. 3.1 A-3 -1 July 2002 <br /> <br /> <br />
