What atmospheric conditions would most likely produce an ice storm, in which trees and power lines are coated with a layer of ice?

Temperatures in the clouds would be above freezing, so rain would fall. Temperatures on the ground would be just below freezing, so the rain would freeze as soon as it reached surfaces on Earth.
HOPE THAT HELPS!
