  • Rain is the liquid form of precipitation in the air.
  • Freezing rain is rain precipitation that freezes on contact with what it falls on (the ground, trees, power lines, cars, and roads, etc.).
  • Snow is the formation of crystalline ice precipitation (snowflakes).
  • Sleet is the mixture of rain and snow and appears to fall as small, wet pellets.
  • Hail is is solid precipitation (ice) that typically forms in high wind conditions that circulate and recirculate frozen water in the atmosphere until it becomes too heavy for air currents to maintain and falls in the form of hail stones. Hail can range in size from pea-sized to Bowling ball-sized stones.
