Description:"This study examines the meteorological conditions associated with an ice storm that occurred over central and eastern Pennsylvania on 6-7 January of 1995. This was not a significant enent, yet it illustrates the difficulties associated with forecasting precipitation type with conflicting model guidance. Cold air damming played a significant role in this event despite the fact that a strong surface anticyclone was not present over New England. In the classical sense, this did not appear to be an ideal system for an ice storm. It will be shown how in a stable atmosphere, which was initially dry at low-levels, the ageostrophic winds diagnosed from AVN, ETA, and NGM forecast data, provided an essential tool to diagnose the potential for an ice storm over the region"--Introduction.
