Volatile Ice Storm is a [[Metaliminal Storms|Metaliminal Storm]] that moves between High, Low and Null Security systems. The center system and its neighbors experiences the Strong effect, while systems 2-3 jumps out from the center get a Weak effect. Volatile Ice Storms can overlap.

Volatile Ice Storm is a [[Metaliminal Storms|Metaliminal Storm]] that moves between High, Low and Null Security systems. During the event, there are approximately 14 highsec, 5 lowsec, and 14 nullsec storms. The center system and its neighbors experiences the Strong effect, while systems 2-3 jumps out from the center get a Weak effect. Volatile Ice Storms can overlap. The sites spawned depend on the security status of the center system (e.g. a low security system in a highsec-centered ice storm will have highsec sites).

Volatile Ice Storms spawn:

=== Wightstorm Combat Anomalies ===

If a ~~Capsuleer is present at the Combat Anomaly~~ it will appear in the ~~Overview of every Capsuleer in the same System~~.

If a capsuleer has warped to a combat anomaly, it will appear in the overview as a beacon.
