Value provided is 3-second gust wind speeds at 33 ft above ground for Exposure C Category, based on linear
interpolation between contours. Wind speeds are interpolated in accordance with the 7-22 Standard. Wind speeds
correspond to approximately a 1.6% probability of exceedance in 50 years (annual exceedance probability =
0.00033, MRI = 3,000 years). Values for 10-year MRI, 25-year MRI, 50-year MRI and 100-year MRI are Service
Level wind speeds, all other wind speeds are Ultimate wind speeds.

Site is not in a hurricane-prone region as defined in ASCE/SEI 7-22 Section 26.2.

Ice
Results:
Ice Thickness: 1.94 in.

Date Accessed: Fri Mar 08 2024
Ice thicknesses on structures in exposed locations at elevations higher than the surrounding terrain and in valleys
and gorges may exceed the mapped values.
Values provided are equivalent radial ice thicknesses due to freezing rain for 250, 500, 1,000, and 1,400-year
mean recurrence intervals along with concurrent 3-s gust speeds and concurrent air temperatures. The shading
indicates special icing regions, with elevations above 2,100 ft (640 m) in the east, 6,000 ft (1829 m) in the west,
and 1,600 ft (488 m) in Alaska, with sparse weather station data for determining design ice loads. In these regions,
as well as in regions with complex terrain causing unusual icing conditions and regions where snow or in-cloud
icing results in larger loads, the mapped values should be adjusted based on a combination of local historical
records and experience, reanalysis data, and numerical weather prediction systems.

Ground Snow Load, pg : 35 lb/ft
20-year MRI Value: 10.72 lb/ft^2
Winter Wind Parameter: 0.55
Mapped Elevation: 592.1 ft

Date Accessed: Fri Mar 08 2024

Values provided are ground snow loads. In areas


designated "case study required," extreme local
variations in ground snow loads preclude mapping at this
scale. Site-specific case studies are required to establish
ground snow loads at elevations not covered.

Snow load values are mapped to a 0.5 mile resolution.


This resolution can create a mismatch between the
mapped elevation and the site-specific elevation in
topographically complex areas. Engineers should consult
the local authority having jurisdiction in locations where
the reported ‘elevation’ and ‘mapped elevation’ differ
significantly from each other.
