In February, 2006, I experienced somthing called "Ice Storm" for the first time in my life. Af first, I exclaimed "Wow! It is sooooo beautiful. It is like a magic kingdom!" It did not take too long I realized it was not so fun as other magic kingdom I have been. Here is a link to some images of Grinnell when ice storm hit it. Ice, Ice, everywhere
Wikipedia gives the description of ice storm as following
An ice storm is a type of winter storm characterized by freezing rain. Ice storms happen when a warm cloud rains above a layer of colder air. This lowers the temperature of the droplets to below zero, however it remains in liquid form. The supercooled droplets freeze into ice on impact when they fall onto a surface the temperature of which is close to, or below, freezing. This freezing rain covers everything with heavy, smooth glaze ice. Ice-covered roads become slippery and dangerous. Driving becomes extremely hazardous as the ice causes all types of vehicles to skid out of control, which can cause devastating car crashes as well as pile ups. Even pedestrians are severely affected as sidewalks become slippery, which can cause people to slip and fall and outside stairs can become an extreme injury hazard.
