Do ice storms happen near the coast or inland?
Ice storms happen anywhere there is ice.
Where do ice storms occur?
Ice storms are characterised by 1/4 inch or more of ice falling during freezing rain, which usually has to occur for several hours. According to research at the University of Oklahoma, this sort of freezing rain which can produce ice storms is most likely to occur throughout the Appalachian Mountains in central North Carolina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York, and the Columbia River Valley in southern Washington and northern Oregon. Ice storms have been known to also hit Oklahoma. Another common area for their occurrence is in New England, and Canada. Two requirements for ice storms are extremely cold temperatures, and enough moisture in the atmosphere to produce sufficient precipitation. They often form when an area of low pressure moves eastward across the northern Gulf of Mexico. In the United States, ice storms occur most often during December and January and near sunrise, which is usually the coldest time of the day. Ice storms are relatively unknown in Europe, but they are occurring with increasing frequency by comparison to the past.

Ice storms are formed when a layer of warm air is between two layers of cold air. Precipitation that is frozen melts when it is falling into the layer of warm air and then it refreezes in the cold layer above the ground.
