A blanket of light ice accumulated across our service area late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Although our crews were prepared and ready to safely to respond, there were almost no power outages directly caused by the ice accumulation. I&M crews did respond to incidents in which icy road conditions resulted in vehicles hitting poles.
SAFETY MESSAGES:
- As the ice melts today, I&M cautions the public to use caution if they need to drive. The frequency of vehicles sliding off the road into power poles, causing a power outage, increases during winter weather events. If possible, please wait to drive until road conditions are favorable.
- Please keep an eye out for I&M crews working alongside roadways and in alleys.
