Winter Storms |
| |
|
A winter storm is a
meteorological event in which the dominant varieties |
|
of precipitation are
forms that only occur at cold temperatures |
|
|
such as snow or sleet, or
a rainstorm where ground temperatures are |
|
cold enough to allow ice
to form (i.e. freezing rain). These storms are not |
|
necessarily
restricted to the winter season, but may occur in the late
autumn. |
|
|
|
Freezing rain storms are
one of the most dangerous types of winter storm |
|
They usuallyally occur when a layer of warm air hovers over
a region, but |
|
the ambient temperature is near 0°C (32°F), and the ground
temperature |
|
is sub-freezing. A storm in
which only roads freeze is a "freezing rain storm"; |
