A Study of Inclement Weather Impacts on Freeway Free-Flow Speed
… impact of snow is more significant than that of rain for similar intensity levels. Reductions caused by rain are in the neighborhood of 2 to 5% depending on the precipitation intensity while reductions caused by snow are in the neighborhood of 6 to 20%. With regards to freezing rain, higher …

SYNOPTIC PATTERNS ASSOCIATED WITH NORTHEAST AND South east ice Storms
… that produce precipitation events such as snow, freezing rain, and ice pellets cause significant damage to utility services and disrupt travel. These synoptic systems involve deep isothermal regions where warm, moist air over-runs surface sub-freezing air. Much attention has been focused on …

Structure of an east coast cyclone derived from airborne radar and model diagnostics
… and radial velocity observations supported freezing rain and/or ice pellets in portions of each flight leg. Surface observations of freezing rain in the vicinity of these flight legs were recorded. The data presented display the spatial variability of the finescale structure of an east coast …

Sting of the Gallfly
… Their world is made up of stinking mud and freezing rain, and even in places of shelter, the food supply runs low. In such circumstances, the two protagonists must learn to accept the pain they encounter without being defined by it.</p>

Compression wood formation in Pinus strobus L. following ice storm damage in southwestern Virginia
To evaluate the compression wood response in eastern white pine (Pinus strobus L.) following a severe ice storm in 1994, 47 trees were felled in 2007 and cross-sectional samples were collected at 0.5 (±0.2) m stem height. The disks were sanded and digitally scanned, and the cross-sectional area …
