  2. Ice - Wikipedia

    However, the strong hydrogen bonds in water make it different: for some pressures higher than 1 atm (0.10 MPa), water freezes at a temperature below 0 °C (32 °F). Ice, water, and water vapour can coexist at the triple point, which is exactly 273.16 K (0.01 °C) at a pressure of 611.657 Pa.

  3. Phases of ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phases_of_ice

    Ice VII is the only disordered phase of ice that can be ordered by simple cooling. (While ice I h theoretically transforms into proton-ordered ice XI on geologic timescales, in practice it is necessary to add small amounts of KOH catalyst.) It forms (ordered) ice VIII below 273 K up to ~8 GPa.

  4. Freezing rain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_rain

    Freezing rain and glaze ice on a large scale is called an ice storm. Effects on plants can be severe, as they cannot support the weight of the ice. Trees may snap as they are dormant and fragile during winter weather. Pine trees are also victims of ice storms as their needles will catch the ice, but not be able to support the weight.

  5. Freezing air temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_air_temperature

    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.

  6. Frost heaving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_heaving

    Thus a 10-nanometer film of unfrozen water around each micrometer-sized soil particle can move it 10 micrometers/day in a thermal gradient of as low as 1 °C m −1. [15] As ice lenses grow, they lift the soil above, and segregate soil particles below, while drawing water to the freezing face of the ice lens via capillary action.

  8. Atmospheric icing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_icing

    Colder temperatures, lower liquid water content, and small droplets favors the forming of rime icing. Clear ice is glossy, clear, or translucent. Compared to rime ice, clear ice forms relatively slowly and tends to appear with warmer temperatures, higher liquid water contents, and larger droplets. Mixed ice is a mixture of rime and clear ice.

    On Jan. 30, Lake Erie was covered by just 0.32 percent of ice, but the Feb. 5 cold snap quickly sent ice coverage to 40 percent. Just one week later, ice cover had plummeted to 0.60 percent as ...
