occurs when shallow layer of warmer air is introduced in the mid level of the atmosphere. falling snow enters this warm layer and begins to health but only partially before ree hedger nothing to a cold, sub freezing layer near the surface. there it refreezes and observed as clear small frozen pellets. if the warmer air is more expansive falling snow flakes melt completely into rain but if the surface temperature is 32 or colder it is considered freezing rain. it looks like normal rain but treeses as ice on contact with the ground or other objects and creating hazardous slippery conditions. and if the freezing rain accumulate is it has potential to down trees and power lines. another less common cold season precipitation time is gobble, it looks like small hade or sleet and works when super cool water drops freeze on falling snowflakes. in the einstein health care signs center i'm meteorologist lauren casey. now in other news tonight six siblings of the late pop super star prince are one step
