parts of the Central Great Plains and the northeastern United
States from December 20 to 23, 2013. Formed in the South Central
United States, the storm headed across the Great Plains towards
Canada into the maritime provinces and northeastern United States
where the storm dissipated on December 23, 2013.

The city of Toronto, Canada’s largest city, was one of the hardest hit by the ice storm. The first wave of freezing rain began on 20 December; it coated the city in a significant but manageable quantity of ice. The second, more powerful wave of rain struck the city in the early morning of 22 December. Utility poles and tree branches collapsed under the weight of the thick ice accumulation. |
