Distribution of Freezing Rain
• Freezing rain occurs most frequently over eastern Canada and New England.
• An axis of higher
freezing rain frequency
extends into the southeastern
US along the Appalachian
Mountains.
• A second axis moves
eastward from New
York and Pennsylvania into Illinois.
• The frequency decreases
toward Gulf of
Mexico and the western Great Plain.
• Freezing rain rarely
occurs west of the
Rockies.
