ABSOLUTY AGAINST MOVING THIS ARTICLE

This article is about Freezing rain not Ice storms. Terefore it is about a type of precipitations. The same way RAIN and SNOW have their own article, freezing rain HAS to REMAIN on its own. Pierre_cb 2005-04-28 19:30 UTC.

I agree. It's about a specific phenomenon and I can see no advantage to merging into a far broader article. Worldtraveller 00:49, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merged, maybe. Into Storm, no. If we want to do any merging, then we should take all the different articles on PRECIPITATION (including this one) and merge them together. I have no opinion, personally, on whether this merging should take place or not, but if it is done, then all precipitation articles (rain, snow, sleet, wintry showers, hail, graupel, and freezing rain) should be merged into one article on precipitation.

FZRA should be merged into Freezing rain

A one-line entry. If METAR codes are notable, they should be in the entry for the weather conditions they describe -- it would be literally a one-sentence addition! -- Michael Bauser 20:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?

"begins as a weiner shnitzel snow or rain"  weiner shnitzel??  WTF?

More information about external links: WP:EL. Four is hardly too many. Quality matters. Rklawton 14:22, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ice Storm Page

I noticed the freezing rain page has much more information than the very similar ice storm page. I've taken some of the information here and put it in pertinent sections, but that page could use some help if interested. Tevonic (talk) 09:11, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Freezing rain vs. supercooled rain

In my opinion there's a difference between freezing rain and supercooled rain. Freezing rain should mean that air temperature is above the freezing point (thus raindrops are not supercooled) but the surfaces are below it (when rain hits them they get frozen), while supercooled rain means that air temperature is also below the freezing point. Anyway there's a problem with METAR codes that do not distinguish between the types: FZRA is used for supercooled rain.--Carnby (talk) 23:34, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

...which means unless you can find a good published source for your opinion, it is considered original research and not to be included in the article. Thegreatdr (talk) 01:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is cutting angels' hairs as the only way to have warm rain freezing on cold objects is that the objects cooled down more rapidly or warmed up more slowly than the layer of air around them. The only time this could happens is at the transition of below to above freezing when objects lag a bit behind in temperature, a situation that last no more than a few tenth of a degree. METAR is not for angels but for practical aviation. Pierre cb (talk) 05:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thing is that freezing rain has actually frozen before it hits the ground, not after. Traisjames (talk)
