| Title: | WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT CAUSED THE ICE STORM OF 1998 |
| Caption: | A conveyor-belt-like flow of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico overrode a stationary cold air mass in Quebec, eastern Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the northeastern United States to cause the Ice Storm of 1998. This system remained in place for nearly a week, causing the worst disaster in Canadian history. (After Environment Canada) |
