Ice Storms in a Changing Climate
Ice storms can cause billions of dollars worth of damage to energy infrastructure, towers, surrounding trees (that could further damage electrical structures), and transportation, and can cause deathseither due to exposure to subfreezing temperatures or vehicular accidents. An increase in global tem...

Ice storms can cause billions of dollars worth of damage to energy infrastructure, towers, surrounding trees (that could further damage electrical structures), and transportation, and can cause deathseither due to exposure to subfreezing temperatures or vehicular accidents. An increase in global temperatures, due to climate change, could affect the frequency, intensity, and geographic location of ice storms. Three known ice storm case studies were chosen to build, test, and adjust an algorithm that could predict freezing precipitation events.
