  2. Snow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow

    Icings – Roofs must also be designed to avoid ice dams, which result from meltwater running under the snow on the roof and freezing at the eave. Ice dams on roofs form when accumulated snow on a sloping roof melts and flows down the roof, under the insulating blanket of snow, until it reaches below freezing temperature air, typically at the ...

  3. Classifications of snow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classifications_of_snow

    Lake-effect snow (also ocean-effect snow) – Occurs when relatively cold air flows over warm lake (or ocean) water to cause localized, convective snow bands. Mountain snow – Orographic lift causes moist air to rise upslope on mountains to where freezing temperatures cause orographic snow.

  4. Freezing rain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_rain

    Freezing rain is rain maintained at temperatures below freezing by the ambient air mass that causes freezing on contact with surfaces. Unlike a mixture of rain and snow or ice pellets, freezing rain is made entirely of liquid droplets. The raindrops become supercooled while passing through a sub-freezing layer of air hundreds of meters above ...

    1883–1888: Colder temperatures worldwide, including an unbroken string of abnormally cold and brutal winters in the Upper Midwest, related to the explosion of Krakatoa in August 1883. There was snow recorded in the UK as early as October and as late as July during this period. 1976–1977: One of the coldest winters in the US in decades.

    The dark patches in the latter image depict areas left without electricity. In February 2021, the state of Texas suffered a major power crisis, which came about during three severe winter storms sweeping across the United States on February 10–11, [6] 13–17, [7] and 15–20. The storms triggered the worst energy infrastructure failure in ...

  7. Winter storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_storm

    If temperature is below freezing, 0 °C (32 °F), near the ground and up in the clouds, precipitation will fall as snow, ice, rain and snow mixed (sleet), ice pellets or even graupel (soft hail). [1] [2] Since cold air can not hold as much moisture as warm air, the total precipitation will be less than at higher temperature.

  8. Ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice

    Whenever there is freezing rain or snow which occurs at a temperature near the melting point, it is common for ice to build up on the windows of vehicles. Often, snow melts, re-freezes, and forms a fragmented layer of ice which effectively "glues" snow to the window. In this case, the frozen mass is commonly removed with ice scrapers.

  9. Snow in Florida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_in_Florida

    Snow flurries were reported in Destin and Miramar Beach. January 2–3, 2018: A winter storm resulted in snow and a wintry mix (freezing rain, sleet, and ice) across northern Florida from Tallahassee to the outskirts of Jacksonville and as far south as Gainesville, with temperatures in the 20s and dewpoints in the teens in the morning.
