Telephone wires, near Becket, Mass.

Approximately every twenty years, western New England suffers from devastating ice storms, leaving heavy ice coating on trees and buildings and hazardous conditions. Major storms struck in 1921, 1942, 1961, 1983, 1998, and 2008, with the storm of December 29-30, 1942, disrupting power and closing roads throughout a broad swath of the northeast. In northern New York state, ice depths reached six inches.

From the guide to the Western Massachusetts Ice Storm Photographs Collection MS 354., 1942, (Special Collections and University Archives, W.E.B. Du Bois Library, University of Massachusetts Amherst)
