Ice Storm Strands Virginia Homes As Snow Drifts Tie Roads
In central Virginia 5000 homes faced power outages for a second night amid candlelit rooms. Crews of 6000 plus 2300 units raced to restore electricity and clear drifts, while 1200 to 1400 Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. customers lacked service. Major roads were mostly clear but drifting snarled western counties with 18 inch depths. Two highway deaths and a heart attack were linked to the storm as travel improved with sun.
