	Weather Elements: ICE STORMS: HAZARDOUS BEAUTY
		Ice storms most commonly develop along a line stretching from northern Texas to Newfoundland in slow-moving low-pressure systems where there is a large temperature difference between the warm Gulf air and cold Arctic air.
		Ice storms lasting 12 hours or more generally produce ice accumulations several centimetres thick and affect an area that may range from a few square kilometres to areas covering several states/provinces.
		In advance of the warm front of an ice storm, warm, moist air moving in from the warm sector overruns the surface cold air ahead to produce the characteristic vertical temperature layering (a low-level temperature inversion of warm air above and cold below) of the pre-warm front atmosphere.

	The Nashville Ice Storm of 1951
		The worst ice storm in the history of Nashville, Tennessee, known as the "Great Blizzard," began on Monday, 29 January 1951 and ended on 1 February, causing a complete shutdown of transportation in Nashville for two days.

		Although weather observations and measurements speak for themselves in terms of the rarity of such winter storms, remembrances of those who endured the Ice Storm of 1951 add a historical dimension that simply cannot be captured by the meteorological data.

		On Wednesday a fine, misty rain began to fall from warmer strata of the atmosphere, upon the earth, which was evidently surrounded with a thin layer of cooler air next its surface, not sufficiently thick to congeal the falling rain in its descent.
		Soon the trees and other exposed places were covered with a coating of smooth ice, which gradually thicked by accretion as the minute drops fell upon the icy surface until twigs the size of whiplashes had become an inch or more in diameter.

	Salon \| "The Ice Storm"
		You wouldn't think it would require a miracle for actors to be good in "The Ice Storm," since the source for Ang Lee's film (which opened the New York Film Festival last weekend), Rick Moody's 1994 novel, is one of the most beautifully written and emotionally satisfying books any young American novelist has produced recently.
		Everything about "The Ice Storm," from the cool green titles that seem to smoke and shift (as if seen through ice) to Mychael Danna's score of lonely, Asian-sounding wind instruments, is tasteful and distant.
		Moody's controlling metaphor of the ice storm, which stands for a world that no longer offers these characters the insulating protections they've come to rely on, has become a reductive, clichéd symbol for the distance between them.
