March DISCO/OBS: Please End It

The ice is melting off all the trees at once with rising temperatures.  I have never experienced something quite like this.  A constant ice crystal roar in the woods.  My phone's little mic probably didn't fully pick up the roar coming from every direction but it is like a sound I have never quite heard.  ( No precipitation was falling when I recorded this)

1921 was a bit of a unicorn - not sure it reached up that far in Maine. Back then there probably wasn't a whole helluva lot goin' on up there I'm guessin' so no exposure, but who knows.

But interior SNE was demolished.  It would be interesting to redux that sucker given modern demographic explosion while dependency on infrastructure and all that.  And in fact, it extended almost to shore zones.  Pretty much the entire region was dealt 2.5"+ accretion. Reports were as high as 4" of rhymed gray.   Thing is, it was later reanalyzed to have had a coastal storm get involved of all things. Highly...highly unusual delivery method.

PWM numbers:
11/26/1921   30   23   0.49"   1.5"
11/27/1921   25   20    1.11"    6.3"
11/28/1921   29   22   1.15"    7.6"
Seems too cold for much ZR, more like an SN/IP mix.  Farmington had 10" on 0.87" LE, likely all snow.
Maine trees escape the catastrophe.

that would be good white noise to fall asleep to.

Sounds like January 10, 1998, when 95% of the ice cascaded to the ground.  My wife was at the AUG Civic Center with an elderly woman suffering Parkinson's, and our drive home at 10 PM was one of the most eerie trips in memory.  Zero lights, super dense fog, and all kinds of stuff littering the roads.  Couldn't see the trees/branches/wires until almost on top of them.
