The impact of more freezing rain, in place of snow, has negatively impacted lichens that animals feed on during the colder months.»

And the part of Illinois that includes Decatur has more freezing rain and ice storms than any other part of the state.

As if that wasn't enough we then got another 6 - 8 inches (what the?!?) topped with off with more freezing rain.

Not exact matches

Stormy with freezing rain, heavy snow or just glacial with sub-zero temperatures — long story short, we are more often than not staying indoors, except for the necessary grocery trips.

What goes up, must come down and, more and more, that water vapor is coming down in extreme precipitation events — defined in North America as more than 100 millimeters of rainfall (or the equivalent in snow or freezing rain) falling in 24 hours — according to new research also published February 17 in Nature that examines such events in the Northern Hemisphere.

Boyfriend jeans can be worn virtually every season, but for those chilly months (like now — hello, freezing rain and way too much precipitation), pick a pair that's more form - fitting, almost like boot - cut jeans, and roll the ankles.

Tornados, floods, high winds, hail, freezing rain, even the possibility of earthquakes makes having the right insurance that much more important.

Keith Jennings, a graduate researcher and lead author of the study, said his team was surprised to find that freezing point at zero degrees Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit was not the key factor in whether precipitation fell as rain or snow, but more where the precipitation was falling.

AGW climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..

Regional models are better able to define the boundaries of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain; determine more precisely where aircraft may encounter icing conditions or where transport on roads may be unwise.

Remember that fresh water freezes more easily than the ocean's usual salt water, so if downwelling fails locally, a puddle of fresher water may form from the rains or floods — and it will freeze more easily, preventing the winds from doing their evaporation job that might restart the downwelling.

Further melting since this time now threatens to open holes in a drop zone used for airborne training, and freezing rain — which has more frequently replaced snow as temperatures have warmed — has damaged equipment, delaying certain training for repairs.

-- First we increase the greenhouse gases — then that causes warming in the atmosphere and oceans — as the oceans warm up, they evaporate more H2O — more moisture in the air means more precipitation (rain, snow)-- the southern hemisphere is essentially lots of water and a really big ice cube in the middle called Antarctica — land ice is different than sea ice — climate models indicated that more snowfall would cause increases in the frozen H2O — climate models indicated that there would be initial increases in sea ice extent — observations confirm the indications and expectations that precipitation is increasing, calving rates are accelerating and sea ice extent is increasing.

Instead, maybe it'd be a lot of general uncertainty, and various difficult - to - plot proxy constraints (e.g., «in Arrow Valley, rainfall and average temperature never moved more than 38 % off this 2 - dimensional curve in (rain, T) space»), and perhaps a few clear fluctuation constraints (e.g., freezing the Thames), and some suggestive fluctuation constraints (like from proxies that can easily be weighted to look like the MWP).

Think extreme cold and frozen pipes, high winds and strong rains, and much more.

Tornados, floods, high winds, hail, freezing rain, even the possibility of earthquakes makes having the right insurance that much more important.
