Example: "The accumulation of ice on the roads made driving hazardous during the winter storm."
Alternatives: "build-up of ice" or "ice accumulation".
And an additional accumulation, of ice or snow, is expected from a storm due this weekend.
Technologies exist to identify positions of metal surfaces and accumulation of ice, for example, despite outside conditions.
ICE IS CITED IN BETTENHAUSEN CRASH: An accumulation of ice contributed to the crash of a plane carrying the Indy-car racer Tony Bettenhausen Jr. last year, according to a report by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Ice can build up as a plane passes through moisture at the right temperature, and an accumulation of ice can make the wings lose lift or make the plane impossible for a pilot to control.
Ice jam, also called ice dam, an accumulation of ice forming where the slope of a river changes from steeper to milder or where moving ice meets an intact ice cover as in a large pool, at the point of outflow into a lake, or on the edge of a glacier or ice sheet.
Climate influences the growth of trees and corals, the abundance and geographic distribution of plant and animal species, the chemistry of oceans and lakes, the accumulation of ice in cold regions, and the erosion and deposition of materials on Earth's surface.
The southern part (Sites GC1 + PC7 and GC8 + PC6) was in mobile sea-ice conditions even in full glacials, and accumulation of ice-rafted debris (IRD) increased in glacial and deglacial periods.
These "boots" inflate and shrink, breaking off accumulations of ice from the forward edges of the wings.
If the elapsed time since deicing exceeds 20 minutes, careful examination of the surfaces should be conducted to detect the extent of accumulation [of ice] and to assure that the takeoff can be made safely and in compliance with existing [regulations].
It might be applied for improved data coverage in notoriously difficult-to-forecast avalanche paths or in regions with permanent snow covers, such as the accumulation zones of ice masses like glaciers and ice sheets.
With greater accumulation of dense ice on the crystal, its fall velocity increases.
