Moving water cannot be below freezing, because if it was at its freezing point or below that, it wouldn't be water anymore. It would be ice, and ice is not water, but frozen water.

Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing fall as?
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
What tempateure does it snow?
The temperature in the clouds must be below freezing. If it is below freezing (32 Fahrenheit, 0 Celsius) all the way to the ground, snow will fall. If not, it will melt and reach the ground as rain, freezing rain, or sleet, depending on if it has time to refreeze. Snow can even fall if the temperature at the surface is a little above freezing if it doesn't have time to melt as it falls.
What was the first year there was freezing rain in us?
There has always been freezing rain.
What tool would a meteorologist use to learn if precipitation will be rain or snow?
A thermometer, because if you are looking for precipitation, if it is above freezing, it will be rain, and if it is below freezing, it will be snow. Hope I answered your question :)
What layer of ice forms when rain freezes after it hits a surface?
Freezing rain.
What temp does freezing rain occur?
Freezing rain occurs when the temputer ins below freezing
How does it change for snowfall or freezing rain?
When it gets above freezing when it rains then it gets below freezing it causes freezing rain.
Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing?
rain because if its above freezing then it wont be snow or freezing rain because they would freeze below freezing and not above freezing:)
Temperature below freezing means snow?
Snow does occur when temperature is below freezing because snow is just frozen rain . Lets say it rains , and the temperature is below freezing , that rain would become snow . So temperature below freezing means having snow is true .
If the temperature is below freezing does rain fall?
It becomes sleet...
What type of cloud produces freezing rain?
Freezing rain can come from Cumulonimbus and Nimbostratus clouds, but the clouds are not responsible for the freezing rain. If the precipitation falls from the clouds as snow it must pass through a warm layer of air to melt the snow flakes into rain drops. Then the raindrops must pass through a frigid layer of air that super-cools them. Finally, the rain instantly turns to ice if it lands on a surface that has a temperature below freezing. Then you know you have freezing rain. (see Related Link below for more detail on freezing rain.)
Can it rain at 29 degrees?
No it is below the freezing point as of 32 degrees
What is temperature at which l rain falls?
Anything above the freezing point, 0* Celsius. Below freezing point, rain turns into snow, sleet, slush or hail.
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing fall as?
Water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing, fall as SNOW . Water drops that fall when the temperature is above freezing fall as RAIN .
What is the definition of freezing rain?
Freezing rain is caused when you have a precipitating cloud deck with a mass of warm air below it and then a thin mass of freezing air near the ground.When the precipitation falls from the cloud, it will generally be snow. As it encounters the warm air, it melts into the usual water droplets of rain. But right before it reaches the ground, it enters the layer of below-freezing air and quickly turns into super-cooled water droplets. On landing on any freezing object, it instantly turns into a layer of ice.That can turn streets into skating rinks in no time!It falls as a liquid, but when it hits the ground it freezes.
What results when rain lands on surfaces that are at or below the freezing temperature?
Ice results when rain lands on surfaces that are at or below freezing temperatures. A dangerous condition known as Black Ice occurs when this occurs on roadways, and leads to accidents and deaths.
What tool would a meteorologist use to learn precipitation will be rain or snow?
A thermometer, because if you are looking for precipitation, if it is above freezing, it will be rain, and if it is below freezing, it will be snow. Hope I answered your question :)
