Frozen Dew- When liquid dew changes into tiny beads of ice. The change occurs after dew formation and then the temperature falls below freezing.

If the temperature falls below freezing after dew has formed, the frozen dew is known as white dew.

Deposit of soft white ice crystals or frozen dew drops on objects near the ground; formed when surface temperature falls below freezing point.

Frozen Dew: When dew freezes and changes to ice. Frozen Precipitation: Snow/Snow Pellets/Snow Grains/Hail/Sleet (ICE PELLETS) Ice Crystals. Funnel Cloud:A Funnel Cloud is a "Tornado" aloft before it touches the ground.

Frost - Water vapour which deposits directly as a solid on a surface colder than the surrounding air and which has a temperature below freezing. It is not frozen dew. A Killing Frost is a frost severe enough to end the growing season.

It is also known as the Absolute Temperature Scale.
