Greetings! Freezing rain occurs when the layer of cold or freezing air is so thin that the raindrops do not have enough time to freeze before reaching the ground. However, once the rain does come into contact with the surface, it quickly freezes. Here is an example of what freezing rain looks like, observe the attached image.
Freezing rain occurs when the layer of freezing air is so thin that the raindrops do not have enough time to freeze before reaching the ground. Instead, the water freezes on contact with the surface, creating a coating of ice on whatever the raindrops contact.
