This is for my physical science class.
An ice storm is likely to result along what type of front?
I was thinking a stationary front, but I'm not sure.

ice storms come from freezing rain read this: Usually freezing rain is associated with the approach of a warm front when cold air, at or below freezing temperature, is trapped in the lower levels of the atmosphere as warmth streams in aloft.
ice storm: Ice storms occur when a layer of warm air is between two layers of cold air. Frozen precipitation melts while falling into the warm air layer, and then proceeds to refreeze in the cold layer above the ground. If the precipitate is partially melted, it will land on the ground as sleet.
cold enough to be ice not cold enough to be snow
