Rime Ice It is a rough, milky, opaque ice formed by the instantaneous freezing of small supercooled droplets as they strike the aircraft.
Rime ice A white, granular deposit of ice formed by the freezing of water drops when they come in contact with an object.

Rime ice: an opaque coating of tiny, white, granular ice particles caused by the rapid freezing of supercooled water droplets on impact with an object. See also clear ice.

rime icing (or rime ice)—The formation of a white or milky and opaque granular deposit of ice formed by the rapid freezing of supercooled water droplets as they im-pinge upon an exposed aircraft.
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.
In fact rime ice makes up a significant source for valley glaciers as it breaks away falling into the valley below. Rime usually accumulates best on exposed obstacles, such as trees, radio masts or rock pinnacles.
Freezing fog occurs when liquid fog droplets freeze to surfaces, forming white rime ice. This is very common on mountaintops which are exposed to low cloud.
Rime ice is less dense than glaze ice ( 0.2 to 0.3 grams per cubic centimetre) and clings less tenaciously.
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.

Such formation on terrestrial objects constitutes an ice storm; on aircraft, it is called aircraft icing (where rime is known as rime ice). Either rime or glaze may form on snow crystals, droxtals, or other ice particles in the atmosphere.
Rime Ice: White or milky and opaque deposit of ice on an aircraft wing.
Roll Cloud:A mean looking cloud which spins & is located behind the gust front.

most conducive to clear icing. This type of icing does not seriously distort airfoil shape, but it does add appreciably to the weight of the craft. 2) The term may also be applied to homogeneous bodies of glacier ice and lake ice. Compare rime ice.
