The temperature profile from last week has the classic appearance of a freezing rain (or sleet) event. That is, the temperature at the surface is below freezing and a wedge of above freezing air exists fairly close to the surface. Last Friday's profile showed above freezing temperatures between 1,000' and 5,000' (approximately). Usually when the entire atmospheric profile is below freezing, all you get is snow. However, in unusual circumstances, you can still have liquid precipitation.Climatologist49https://www.blogger.com/profile/04560505931210357679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572286363399496963.post-32015621189918632312013-11-25T08:36:16.879-09:002013-11-25T08:36:16.879-09:00How difficult would it be to fish out other freezi...How difficult would it be to fish out other freezing rain soundings and compare them?
