freeze - 1. See freezing. 2. The condition that exists when, over a widespread area, the surface temperature of the air remains below freezing (0°C) for a sufficient time to constitute the characteristic feature of the weather.
Freeze Warning- Issued when surface temperatures are expected to drop below freezing over a large area for an extended period of time, regardless whether or not frost develops.
Freeze A condition occurring over a widespread area when the surface air temperature remains below freezing for a sufficient time to damage certain agricultural crops.
FREEZE - When the temperature at or near the surface is expected to be 32 or below, during the growing season. Adjectives, such as "killing,' "severe," or "hard," are used when appropriate.
Freeze It is when the surface air temperature is expected to be 32°F or below over a widespread area for a climatologically significant period of time.
Freeze Warning- Issued during the growing season when surface temperatures are expected to drop below freezing over a large area for an extended period of time, regardless if frost develops or not.
dry freeze"The freezing of the soil and terrestrial objects caused by a reduction of temperature when the adjacent air does not contain sufficient moisture for the formation of hoarfrost on exposed surfaces.
Hard Freeze- freeze where vegetation is killed and the ground surface is frozen solid.
Freeze: When the temperature of the surface of the earth reaches 32 degs. F.
Freezing Drizzle: Drizzle that freezeswhen hitting the ground or objects.
Freezing Level: The level in the atmosphere where the temperature is 32 Degs. F.
Freeze Warning - It's issued during the growing season when the temperature falls below 32 degrees over a large area for an extended period of time. A freeze can destroy crops.
FROST/FREEZE WARNING: Below-freezing temperatures are expected during the growing season and may cause significant damage to plants and crops.
(Great Lakes Freeze-Up/Break-Up Outlook) - A National Weather Service product to keep mariners informed of the projected freeze-up date or break-up date of ice on the Great Lakes.

Great Lakes Freeze-Up Outlook (Product Header CLEICEFBO): The freeze-up outlook is issued by NWFO Cleveland, Ohio in the fall around November 1st.
FREEZING POINT/FREEZE
The process of changing a liquid to a solid. The temperature at which a liquid solidifies under any given set of conditions. Pure water under atmospheric pressure freezes at 0°C or 32°F. It is the opposite of fusion.
Sea water which freezes and forms into large floes. Also known as sea ice, it is different from icebergs.
Peak Hmax
Highest maximum wave height recorded during a storm event.
Freezing Rain freezes on impact with a cold surface
Ice storms can be the most devastating of winter weather phenomena and are often the cause of automobile accidents, power outages and personal injury.
which is provided so that waves and other movements of the liquid will not overtop the confining structureFreezeA freeze is when the surface air temperature is expected to be 32°F or below over a widespread area for a climatologically ...
AccretionThe growth of a precipitation particle by the collision of a frozen particle with a supercooled liquid water droplet which freezes upon impact.
Clear IceA thin coating of ice on terrestrial objects, caused by rain that freezes on impact.
The pillow below this flat surface is filled with antifreeze solution and the pressure in the pillow is related to the water-equivalent depth of the snow on the platform.
Mercury will solidify (freeze) at -38.83 °C (-37.89 °F) and so may only be used at higher temperatures. Mercury, unlike water, does not expand upon solidification and will not break the glass tube, making it difficult to notice when frozen.
Freezing Rain: Rain that falls as liquid drops but freezes upon impact with horizontal or vertical surfaces. Freezing rain is characterized as either glaze or rime depending on the nature of the ice.
As the ice crystals fall inside the cloud, they may collide with water droplets that freeze onto them. The ice crystals continue to grow larger, until large enough to fall from the cloud. They pass through warm air, melt, and fall as raindrops.
(Remember, the Great Lakes don't freeze!)
That air is now warmer and therefore rises in the atmosphere. This is called convective instability.
Freezing Rain - Rain which freezes on impact to form a coating of ice upon the ground and on the objects it strikes.
Rain that becomes supercooled and freezes on impact with the ground or with objects on the earth's surface. Freezing rain can cause great damage, due to the weight of ice accumulating on structures in extreme events.
(where they may freeze to form hail)
strong downdrafts produce strong winds associated with thunderstorms
midlevel clouds
altostratus (midlevel flat, layerd cloud)
a corona closely circles the sun or moon shining through altostratus ...
Freezing rain - rain that freezes after it hits the ground or other object and forms clear ice.
Fronts - baroclinic divisions in the atmosphere. Zones between air masses where temperature changes quite rapidly with horizontal distance.
Barber A strong wind carrying damp snow or sleet and spray that freezes upon contact with objects, especially the beard and hair.
Bayamo A violent wind blowing from the land on the south coast of Cuba, especially near the Bight of Bayamo.
Rime- Tiny balls of ice that form when tiny drops of water freeze on contact with the surface.
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Damage Potential Scale- A scale that measures hurricane intensity, developed by Herbert Saffir and Robert Simpson.
A thin coating of ice on terrestrial objects, caused by rain that freezes on impact. The ice is relatively transparent, as opposed to rime ice, because of large drop size, rapid accretion of liquid water, or slow dissipation of latent heat of fusion.
Freezing rain Supercooled raindrops that freeze on contact with cold surfaces.
Friction The resistance an object encounters as it comes into contact with other objects; in fluids known as viscosity.
Precipitation formed when super cooled water droplets collide and freeze.
Greenhouse Effect
The warming that takes place when molecules in the atmosphere trap heat radiating away from the surface and redirect it back toward Earth.
Fahrenheit: temperature scale in which water boils at 212 ¡F and freezes at 32 ¡F under standard atmospheric pressure; named after the designer of the scale, the German scientist Gabriel Fahrenheit.
GLAZE A smooth clear icy coating of supercooled water droplets that spread out and freeze onto objects on contact. A storm that produces the accretion of glaze is called an ice storm. Related term: clear ice ...
Hail are bits of ice that are pushed up into thunderstorms. As other water comes in contact with the ice , it freezes, causing the hailstone to grow. Eventually, the hailstones become too heavy for the wind to support and fall to the ground.
Freezing drizzle: a drizzle that falls as a liquid but freezes into glaze or rime upon contact with the cold ground or surface structures.
FREEZING RAIN: Rain which falls as liquid then freezes upon impact, resulting in a coating of ice on exposed objects.
Fahrenheit: temperature scale where water freezes at 32 °F and water boils at 212°F at sea level air pressure.
Celsius (C) scale: A temperature scale where water freezes at 0º C and boils at 100º C.
The supercooled droplets freeze once they contact the earth's surface. Freezing fog is different from ice fog.
Glaze - A coating of ice on objects formed when supercooled rain freezes on contact. A storm that produces glaze is termed an 'icing storm.' ...
Celsius scale A temperature scale where zero is assigned to the temperature where water freezes and 100 to the temperature where water boils (at sea level).
Used as a deep-freeze coolant and scientific applications. Dry ice fog is also produced with dry ice placed in tubs of warm water.
Frost Heaving "Frost heaving" is the lifting of a surface by the internal action of frost. It generally occurs as a result of freeze-thaw cycles.
The Annual issue contains monthly and annual averages of temperature, precipitation, temperature extremes, freeze data, soil temperatures, evaporation, and a recap of monthly cooling degree days.
