Precipitation (freezing rain) that lands on cold objects is called "glaze ice" or simply icing. It affects trees, buildings, power lines, roads, bridges, and (most dangerously) aircraft. Icing reduces the lift of aircraft wings, leading to dangers of stalling during flight or takeoff. It can also interfere with sensors on modern civilian and military planes. On the ground, "black ice" is an invisible layer of roadway ice that can cause uncontrollable skids. Trees and power lines often collapse under layers of glaze during so-called "ice storms."
Meteorologists make a distinction between glaze ice (freezing precipitation) and the "clear ice" that forms directly from water droplets (such as fog) in the air.

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 below permafrost?
Below permafrost is below freezing temperature (0c)
Can your electric get disconnected when the temperature is below freezing?
no
What is the coldest temperature past freezing point?
The coldest temperature below freezing point is -273 degrees centigrade
What is the name for waterdrops that fall when the temperature is below freezing and the water become solid?
Depending on the temperature, water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing can become sleet, ice, or snow.
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 happens when rain lands on surfaces that are at or below the freezing temperature.?
The water freezes before it can run off causing an ice coating.
What is sub freezing temperature?
temperature below freezing point of water.
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 .
Water drops that fall and become solid when the temperature is below freezing?
If it freezes in the air, it is called sleet (ice pellets). If it freezes on contact with cold surfaces, it is called freezing rain (called glaze in the UK).
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 below permafrost?
Below permafrost is below freezing temperature (0c)
What conditions are required for it to sleet?
ground temperature below freezing, and air temperature slightly above freezing.
Can your electric get disconnected when the temperature is below freezing?
no
What is the coldest temperature past freezing point?
The coldest temperature below freezing point is -273 degrees centigrade
What is the name for waterdrops that fall when the temperature is below freezing and the water become solid?
Depending on the temperature, water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing can become sleet, ice, or snow.
How many degrees is negative 3 degrees Fahrenheit below the freezing temperature of water?
In Fahrenheit the freezing temperature is 32 degrees. negative three degrees would be 35 degrees below freezing.
