Meteorology
English term or phrase: freezing rain
Freezing rain is a type of precipitation that begins as snow at higher altitude, falling from a cloud towards earth, melts completely on its way down while passing through a layer of air above freezing temperature, and then encounters a layer below freezing at lower level to become supercooled. This water will then freeze upon impact with any object it encounters.[1] The ice can accumulate to a thickness of several centimetres, called glaze ice. The METAR code for freezing rain is FZRA.[2] (see freezing drizzle for another way of forming ice accretion).

(...)When the supercooled drops strike a ground below 0 °C or anything else below 0 °C (power lines, tree branches, air craft), they instantly freeze, forming a thin film of ice, hence freezing rain.[4]

lapoviţă


Explanation:
Lapoviţă - ninsoare la temperaturi pozitive, cînd fulgii de zăpadă se topesc .In situaţiile în care temperatura solului este sub cea de îngheţ, lapoviţa poate forma straturi de gheata sau polei.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chiciură – cristale de gheată, albe, fărîmicioase, asemănătoare cu zăpada, care se formează cu precădere de ramuri, pe conductori, pe colţurile şi muchiile obiectelor, de obicei pe timp geros, în prezenţa ceţii şi a vîntului slab.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Brumă – depunere de gheaţă cu aspect cristalin, care ia în cele mai multe cazuri forma de coajă, de ace, de pene sau de avantai. Acest hidrometeor ce formează într-un mod analog cu roua, dar la temperaturi mai coborîte de 0.0C.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Măzăriche – precipitaţii solide sub forma unor granule de gheaţă, albe-mate. Aceste granule sînt sferice sau uneori conice: diametrul lor este cuprins între 2 şi 5 mm.

  -> Multumesc Ioana!
neutral  Mihaela Bordea: Lapoviţă e zapada si ploaie in acelasi timp... cerd ca mai degraba chiciura ca in definitei zice ca se formeaza un strat de gheata in contact cu obiectele, si cred ca se potriveste doar zicem "depunere de chiciura"
