Default Ice Storm in USA

Was an ice storm the cause of the collapse of the Emley Moor TV mast in 1969? I
just about remember it happening and it was winter.

I recall a similar event in the UK when large icicles were dropping like
spears from buildings and powerlines. Anyone know how frequently this event
occurs in the UK ?


I remember one in 1947, NW Surrey.
