Freezing Rain


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick   		Freezing Rain
Freezing Rain
Freezing rain is the name given to rain that falls when surface temperatures are below freezing. Unlike rain and snow mixed, ice pellets, or hail, freezing rain is made entirely of liquid droplets. The raindrops become supercooled while passing through a sub-freezing layer of air many hundreds of feet above the surface, and then freeze upon impact with any object they encounter.
The resulting ice, called glaze, can accumulate to a thickness of several centimeters. The METAR code for freezing rain is FZRA.

Carol L. Fowler 		  Miserable weather! We had 4 inches of snow 2 days ago, then another 1-2 inches last night. Hopefully no freezing rain though.

Stephen Zacker 		  Brrr... makes for treacherous driving. I am hoping we have seen the last of winter, but you never know in the Rockies. I remember living in Presque Isle though, and our winters are mild compared to that
