Ice storm
An ice storm, also known as a glaze event or a silver storm is a type of winter storm characterized by freezing rain. The U.S. National Weather Service defines an ice storm as a storm which results in the accumulation of at least 0.25-inch (6.4 mm) of ice on exposed surfaces. They are generally not violent storms but instead are commonly perceived as gentle rains occurring at temperatures just below freezing.

ice storm
An ice storm is a type of winter storm characterized by freezing rain, which occurs when falling snowflakes melt into rain as they pass through a layer of warmer air then refreeze upon encountering a layer of freezing air close to the ground surface, covering objects with ice or glaze. These storms can cause significant damage to trees, power lines, and other structures due to the heavy weight of ice.
