Ice storms happen when the upper air temp is too warm for snow..Precip falls as rain, and the cold temps at the surface cause it to freeze immediately. It's like navigating on a big ice rink. The worst of it is when the rain falls and freezes instantly on trees and power lines. The ice is so heavy it causes both to fall..Power outages everywhere..Yuck..
