Puddles form rapidly and local flooding occurs in low lying areas. Can cause streams and rivers to flood after several hours. Freezes on impact with the ground or other objects and forms a layer of ice. Freezes on impact with the ground or other objects and forms a layer of ice. Both freezing rain and freezing drizzle make hazardous driving conditions, are dangerous to aircraft and cause stress to structures due to the weight of the ice.
Freezing rain is more hazardous than freezing drizzle.
Generally the temperature is below zero when these occur. When making a report of these give air temperature if possible. Usually bounce when hitting hard surface and make a sound on impact. These are frozen rain drops. Significant Blowing Snow Develops when snow on the ground is raised by the wind to a sufficient height to cause a reduction in visibility.
