Freezing rain is liquid while it is falling. If you catch it in your hand, you will see that it is liquid water. However, it is super-cooled, that is, still liquid even though it is below the freezing point of water.

When it lands on any object that is at a temperature below freezing, it instantly turns into a solid coating of ice.
