Hard rime on trees in the Black Forest of Germany. Hard rime is a white ice that forms when the water droplets in fog freeze to the outer surfaces of objects. It is often seen on trees atop mountains and ridges in winter, when low-hanging clouds cause freezing fog. This fog freezes to the windward (wind-facing) side of tree branches, buildings ...
Freeze (software engineering) In software engineering, a freeze is a point in time in the development process after which the rules for making changes to the source code or related resources become more strict, or the period during which those rules are applied. [1] A freeze helps move the project forward towards a release or the end of an ...
Graupel (/ ˈ ɡ r aʊ p əl /; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩] ⓘ), also called soft hail 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. [2] Graupel is distinct from hail and ice pellets in both ...
Hang (computing) In computing, a hang or freeze occurs when either a process or system ceases to respond to inputs. A typical example is when computer's graphical user interface (such as Microsoft Windows [a]) no longer responds to the user typing on the keyboard or moving the mouse. The term covers a wide range of behaviors in both clients and ...
Soft rime has a density between a quarter and two thirds that of pure ice, [95] due to a high proportion of trapped air, which also makes soft rime appear white. Hard rime is denser, more transparent, and more likely to appear on ships and aircraft. [96] [97] Cold wind specifically causes what is known as advection frost when it collides with ...
A hard freeze is when temperatures are 28 degrees or lower for an extended period of time. Here's what you need to know.
A mixture of chocolate and vanilla soft serve being dispensed, a flavor colloquially referred to as swirl or twist. Soft serve is generally lower in milk-fat (3 to 6 per cent) than conventional ice cream (10 to 18 per cent) and is produced at a temperature of about −4 °C (25 °F) compared to conventional ice cream, which is stored at −15 ...
v. t. e. Ice pellets (Canadian English [1]) or sleet (American English) is a form of precipitation consisting of small, hard, translucent balls of ice. Ice pellets are different from graupel ("soft hail"), which is made of frosty white opaque rime, and from a mixture of rain and snow, which is a slushy liquid or semisolid.
