Description:Winter weather forecasting brings many interesting and challenging situations, not the least of which is forecasting precipitation type, i.e., rain versus sncw versus freezing precipitation. The prime purpose of this note is to summarize sane recent research done by Atmospheric Environment Service (AES) of Canada that had application to this particular forecast problem. In reviewing their material it was discovered that a more thorough review of the rain-snow-freezing precipitation question was in order. Presented below is a brief summary of the physical aspects of winter precipitation type. It is hoped that this discussion will lead to a better understanding of winter precipitation processes, and thus to better rain versus snow versus freezing precipitation forecasts.
