In the early days, felled logs were transported using simple methods such as rivers to float tree trunks downstream to sawmills or paper mills. This practice, known as log driving or timber rafting, was the cheapest and most common. Some logs, due to high resin content, would sink and were known as deadheads.
Severe weather can occur under a variety of situations, but three characteristics are generally needed: a temperature or moisture boundary, moisture, and (in the event of severe, precipitation-based events) instability in the atmosphere.
Floating logs down a river worked well for the most desirable pine timber, because it floated well. But hardwoods were more dense, and weren't buoyant enough to be easily driven, and some pines weren't near drivable streams. Log driving became increasingly unnecessary with the development of railroads and the use of trucks on logging roads ...
More than 6 million people under winter weather alerts could see 6 to 12 inches of snow by this weekend. The wintry blast could dump up to 5 feet of snow in places like Buffalo and Watertown, New ...
If that famous "Final Destination" logging truck scene already lurks in the back of your mind whenever you're driving on a highway, you may want to sit this one out.
A blast of Arctic air will bring punishing cold winds and bands of heavy lake-effect snow that will bury some towns in fresh feet of snow into Friday, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. However, the ...
Snow accumulation on ground and in tree branches in Germany Snow blowing across a highway in Canada Spring snow on a mountain in France. Classifications of snow describe and categorize the attributes of snow-generating weather events, including the individual crystals both in the air and on the ground, and the deposited snow pack as it changes over time.
The National Weather Service predicted that there was a moderate risk of "hazardous cold" across the Northern Plains, with low temperatures that could get down to -10 degrees and feel even colder ...
