Preparations are underway as a cold snap bears down on much of the U.S., bringing below freezing temperatures and snow. An arctic cold airmass is expected to hit the Atlanta area, which would see ...
Freezing [1] or frost occurs when the air temperature falls below the freezing point of water (0 °C, 32 °F, 273 K). This is usually measured at the height of 1.2 metres above the ground surface. This is usually measured at the height of 1.2 metres above the ground surface.
The Gulf of Mexico and Florida could also experience temperatures below freezing. Meteorologists are predicting heavy snow for the Great Lakes region and into the Appalachians, as well as bitterly ...
A winter storm emerging from the Rockies is forecast to bring rain, snow and ice to a large part of the U.S., the National Weather Service said Friday, bringing below freezing temperatures with it ...
This steepens the thermal lapse rates between the lake temperature and the temperatures aloft. A difference in temperature of 25 °C (45 °F) or more between the lake temperature and the temperature at about 1,500 m (4,900 ft) (the 850 hPa level) usually marks the onset of thundersnow, if surface temperatures are expected to be below freezing.
The three main types of ground frost are radiation frost (), advection frost (advection hoar frost) and evaporation frost.The latter is a rare type which occurs when surface moisture evaporates into drier air causing its temperature at the surface to fall at or under the freezing point of water.

If temperature is below freezing, 0 °C (32 °F), near the ground and up in the clouds, precipitation will fall as snow, ice, rain and snow mixed (sleet), ice pellets or even graupel (soft hail). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Since cold air can not hold as much moisture as warm air, the total precipitation will be less than at higher temperature.
A cold front is moving through the Ohio Valley Monday, according to the National Weather Service, bringing below freezing temperatures to the area.
