摘要: Abstract Freezing rainstorms in the United States during 1949–2000 resulted 87 catastrophic events, storms causing property losses of more than $1 million, with resulting totaling $16.3 billion. Catastrophes and their were greatest northeast, southeast, central States, only 3% occurred western States. A greater percentage freezing-rain occurrences deep South produced catastrophes did northern a result differences storm-producing conditions. dense network observers who measured ice 9-yr period provided definitive data on damaging storm areas thicknesses wires. The geographic distribution 368 damaging–ice matched well that catastrophes; both belt from Southwest, across Midwest, into New England. Storm-area sizes ranged 205 to 796 000 km2, 50% being less 21 840 km2. Most storm-area...
