Abstract
The glaze storm which visited eastern New York State in December 1942 exceeded in area covered and weight of ice any previously recorded, according to the authors of this article, one of whom was active in the repair work throughout the storm and restoration period. The effect of the storm on electric-power systems in the area and the conclusions that can be drawn from it regarding heavy loading conditions due to such storms are discussed.
