Over a quarter century ago, Vermont’s most severe ice storm in history was underway on this date, in 1998. By the time it was over, 2 to 5 inches of ice throughout the Champlain Valley, and at elevations between 1600 and 3000 feet, resulted in millions of dollars in damage, and power outages over a week in some locations. The ice storm stretched from Maine to Ontario, with billions of dollars of damage.
