Excerpt: Lake-effect snow is produced in the winter when cold winds move across long expanses of warmer lake water, providing energy and picking up water vapor which freezes and is deposited on the leeward shores. The same effect over bodies of salt water is called ocean effect snow, sea effect snow, or even bay effect snow. The effect is enhanced when the moving air mass is uplifted by the orographic effect of higher elevations on the downwind shores. This uplifting can produce narrow but very intense bands of precipitation, which deposit at a rate of many inches of snow each hour, often resulting in copious snowfall totals. The areas affected by lake-effect snow are called snowbelts. This effect occurs in many locations throughout the world but is best known in the populated areas of the Great Lakes of North America, and especially Western New York, northwestern and western Michigan and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which can average over 200 inches (5 meters) of snow per year and averages the most snow of any non-mountainous location within the continental US.

Excerpt: The Ice storm of December 2005 was a damaging winter storm that produced extensive ice damage in a large portion of the Southern United States on December 1416, 2005 while extensive snows were reported across portions of the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. It led to enormous and widespread power outages and at least 7 deaths. The storm was triggered by a deep low pressure system formed over the Gulf of Mexico on 14 December 2005, which began moving northward. At the same time, cold arctic air from northern Canada penetrated deep into the central United States and lowered the temperatures at the surface while warm air from the Gulf Stream remained at the coast. A second Alberta clipper farther north also added additional energy to the system. The precipitation remained as rain in the coastal areas, including the large cities from Boston to Washington, D.C.. However, freezing rain was extensive in the inland areas, including around Atlanta, where the temperatures remained just below freezing for extended periods. The freezing rain persisted for many hours, leading to extensive ice damage. Trees and power lines, along with numerous other lightweight structures, came down in many areas from Georgia northward, and highways (including several Interstate Highways) were closed and impassable. The heaviest ice accretions were in southwestern North Carolina, where ice over 3/4 inch (20 mm) thick was reported and Charlottesville, Virginia with 1 inch (25,4 mm). At the higher elevations...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3442941 ... Read more

Excerpt: Winter storms of 20072008 profiles the major winter storms, including blizzards, ice storms, and other winter events, from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. A winter storm is an event in which the dominant varieties of precipitation are forms that only occur at cold temperatures, such as snow or sleet, or a rainstorm where ground temperatures are cold enough to allow ice to form (i.e. freezing rain). In temperate continental climates, these storms are not necessarily restricted to the winter season, but may occur in the late autumn and early spring as well. Very rarely, they may form in summer, though it would have to be an abnormally cold summer, such as the summer of 1816 in the Northeast United States of America. In many locations in the Northern Hemisphere, the most powerful winter storms usually occur in March and, in regions where temperatures are cold enough, April. A winter storm brushed the Antarctic Peninsula with hurricane force winds in early July 2007. The San Martin Base weather station reported winds gusting up to 90 mph (140 km/h) on the evening of July 1, and winds up to 110 mph (180 km/h) by July 3. The strong winds caused temperatures to drop to 10 °F (23 °C) and did not rise until July 4. Other weather stations in the Antarctic Peninsula reported similar effects. An interaction with an area of low pressure systems across Argentina during the July 6, 7 and 8 of 2007, and the entry of a massive polar cold snap made as a result the worst winter of Argentina in almost forty years, w...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=12117426 ...

From the supplier: The ice storms that affected New England, upper New York and Canada in Jan 1998, generated an increasing number of disaster insurance claims from affected businesses and homeowners. In Canada, the storm generated more than 250,000 claims for property damages evaluated at $252.5 mil according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. In US, companies such as State Farm Insurance Co, CNA Insurance Group and Commercial Union York Insurance Co expect to receive considerable catastrophe storm damage claims from homeowners and businesses.

Description:
The generation and development of dust storms are controlled by land surface conditions and atmospheric circulations. The latter, in turn, is influenced by the global ice-snow cover. In this study, we examine the relationship between the characteristics of dust storm activities in north China and the changes of global climate patterns. In particular, we are interested in whether Arctic ice-snow cover is related to the dust storm frequencies and intensities in north China. Our analysis, based on the monthly data for the period from 1954 to 1994, shows that this is indeed the case. This result suggests that the Arctic ice-snow cover can be used for the long-term prediction of dust storm activities in north China, and dust storm activities also serve as an indicator of global climate change. ...
