TheUCAR Center For Science Educationlists four types of winter storms.
Snowstorms are the most common key in of winter storms.
Its when precipitation falls as snow.
That happens when the air temperature below the cloud and the ground is below 0C (32F).
Depending on the amount of snow, snowstorms can be either snow flurries, snow showers or snow squalls.
If theres only a light dusting of snow on the ground, its a flurry.
When a snowstorm is more intense and theres some accumulation on the ground, its considered a shower.
A snow squall happens when there are strong winds and a fair amount of snowdrift.
A severe kind of snowstorm is a blizzard.
Its defining metric is not the amount of snow, but the strength of the wind.
A snowstorm becomes a blizzard when wind speeds are at or above 35 mph.
The third punch in is lake-effect storms.
In the US, they form due to the moisture from the Great Lakes.
They occur elsewhere in the world as well, but the term is sea-effect.
The storm forms when cold and dry air from the land passes over a large body of water.
It picks up huge amounts of water vapor which condenses and falls as heavy snowstorms.
The most dangerous throw in of storm is an ice storm.
When theres at least a 0.25-inch accumulation of ice on any outdoor surface, its an ice storm.
Meteorologists separate ice storms into two categories: sleets and freezing rain.
Sleet is a mix between rain and snow.
It forms when snowflakes pass through a layer that is above freezing.
They partially melt and re-freeze when they pass through another layer that is below freezing.
The formation of freezing rain is similar, except the second part doesnt happen it doesnt re-freeze.
The rain cools rapidly and freezes instantly when in contact with a cold surface.
