Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ice storms v. snow storms?

Slightly off topic so please forgive me - what conditions lead to the kind of ice storms that are affecting the US mid-West at the moment, and why is that precipitation not falling as snow?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Warm air high up causes snow to melt and fall as rain but cold air near the ground keeps the temperature below freezing causing the rain to freeze as it hits the ground causing a build up of glass like ice.

rob@rar, ^^^ what they said. You get the same effect here sometimes but not on the same scale, the met office tend to call it freezing rain. It's usually caused by warm fronts where the approaching warm air mass rides up over the top of the cold air which is then trapped near the ground.
