If this hard ice keeps falling around the area I am sure it will be bad news in a few neighborhoods

im gonna say close to 17,000

At 1/4 inch of freezing rain accumulation, more limbs and lines become coated, causing similar, but somewhat more widespread outages to the distribution system. Younger evergreen trees can become so heavy that they may lean into the distribution lines, causing more outages.
A 1/2 inch accumulation on power lines can add 500 pounds of extra weight to the line, snapping it.
