ICE STORMS: HAZARDOUS BEAUTY L ast night, a thin wedge of a major winter storm crawled across the county. For ten hours the rains fell, but these were not ordinary rains, for when they struck, the water began to freeze. By morning, the freezing rain had deposited several centimetres of clear ice on all exposed surfaces. The in its aftermath, the skies. When dawn broke, the first rays of the sun struck the tops of the leaf-less maples along the ridge to the west, shining back in a dazzling light. As the sun rose further, its brilliance reflected and refracted off ever more of the crystal garden which covered the countryside. Barbed wire fences sparkled like diamond necklaces. Weeds rising from the snow resembled the stems of crystal goblets. Rough wood shone while gentle breezes played branches like wind chimes; stronger gusts breaking long ice chains, sending them tinkling and crashing as they hit the ground. Periods of freezing rain like this one may fall in any winter storm crossing eastern North America. When the fall of freezing rain persists and ice accumulates, meteorologists classify the storm as an ice storm . Ice storms transform roads into huge skating rinks and leave downed power lines and broken trees in their wake. However, like a heavy snow storm, the damage and inconvenience are often tempered by dazzling beauty.

The term ice storm is used by the National Weather Service to describe a storm that produces a significant accumulation (1/4 inch or more) of ice during freezing rain. To produce this amount of ice, freezing rain usually has to occur for several hours. Fortunately, significant ice storms are rare in the United States. Research that I've done with a former student at the University of Oklahoma shows that freezing rain occurs most often throughout the Appalachian Mountains in central North Carolina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York, as well as in the Columbia River Valley in southern Washington and northern Oregon. Throughout the United States, it occurs most often during the months of December and January and near sunrise, usually the coldest time of the day. Since traveling is impossible during an ice storm, it is important to monitor local weather forecasts and begin preparations immediately when a storm seems likely. The National Weather Service suggests that if a winter storm appears imminent in your area, make sure that you have:
