2. Shower (precipitation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shower_(precipitation)

   A shower will produce rain if the temperature is above the freezing point in the cloud, or snow / ice pellets / snow pellets / hail if the temperature is below it at some point. [1] In a meteorological observation, such as the METAR, they are noted SH giving respectively SHRA, SHSN, SHPL, SHGS and SHGR. [2] [3]

3. Snow squall - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowsquall

   A snow squall, or snowsquall, is a sudden moderately heavy snowfall with blowing snow and strong, gusty surface winds. [1] It is often referred to as a whiteout and is similar to a blizzard but is localized in time or in location and snow accumulations may or may not be significant.

4. Snow - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow

   Snow loads are related to the climate in which a structure is sited. Icings are usually a result of the building or structure generating heat that melts the snow that is on it. Snow loads – The Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures gives guidance on how to translate the following factors into roof snow loads: [86] Ground ...

5. Snow flurry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_flurry

   A snow flurry is a light snowfall that results in little or no snow accumulation. The US National Weather Service defines snow flurries as intermittent light snow that produces no measurable precipitation (trace amounts). [1] In contrast, bursts of snowfall that do result in measurable snow accumulation are called snow showers. [2]

6. Graupel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graupel

   Graupel (/ ˈ ɡ r aʊ p əl /; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩] ⓘ), also called soft hail or hominy snow or granular snow or snow pellets, [1] is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets in air are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of crisp, opaque rime.

7. Precipitation types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precipitation_types

   Heavy rain describes rainfall with a precipitation rate above 7.6 millimetres (0.30 in) per hour, and violent rain has a rate more than 50 millimetres (2.0 in) per hour. [11] Snowfall intensity is classified in terms of visibility instead. When the visibility is over 1 kilometre (0.62 mi), snow is determined to be light.
