North American Weather Consultants

Most icing at Mt. Crested Butte is observed during southwesterly winds, which generally corresponds to pre-frontal situations.

The vast majority of this supercooled liquid water when icing was observed (over 80%) was below -5 C, cold enough for nucleation by silver iodide

Low-level thermodynamic stability during storms should not be a major impediment to dispersion of seeding material released from lower elevation ground generators.

Analysis of similar data over more seasons should provide a better climatology of the area

Comparisons of icing data to liquid water data from a nearby radiometer site are planned based on data collected during the 2015-2016 winter season.
