What a Ice Storm Warning means

Significant ice accumulation from freezing rain is expected, commonly a quarter inch (6 mm) or more, enough to bring down trees and power lines and glaze roads.

What to do during a Ice Storm Warning

Stay off roads, prepare for long power outages (flashlights, batteries, safe backup heat) and keep away from downed lines.

Watch vs warning vs advisory

A watch means the ingredients are in place and the hazard is possible: be prepared. A warning means the hazard is happening, imminent or very likely: act now to protect life and property. An advisory is for less severe conditions that are still a nuisance or risky, and a statement is information that falls below those levels.

The companion product to the Ice Storm Warning is the Winter Storm Warning, with 4 active now.
