What's the difference between rime, snow rime and rime?

When supercooled precipitation hits the surface of an object with a temperature equal to or lower than zero degrees Celsius, a glassy, transparent or dim ice sheet with rough surface is formed, which is called rime. Rime is a precipitation phenomenon under a specific weather background. The typical weather of rime formation is mild cold (0-3℃), with rain, strong wind and heavy fog drops, which usually occurs when cold air meets warm air, which is very powerful.

Snowstorms are formed by the accumulation of white deposits formed by snowfall adhering to the surface of objects. Snow songs are a natural phenomenon in winter, which can be formed only a few times in a year. Its formation principle is that the temperature is high when snowflakes fall, and some snowflakes fall to the ground or trees and become water. In the process of snowfall, if there is a cold current, the temperature will suddenly drop, the snow will no longer melt, the snow will be stuck and frozen by the water drops on the branches, and the snow will accumulate thicker and thicker, forming Melissa Zhou glaze.

Rime (wùsūng), commonly known as tree hanging, is a very rare natural wonder, which is condensed by supersaturated water vapor in the air in the cold season. Rime is not ice or snow, but the result of fog on branches and other objects freezing below zero degrees Celsius and viscous water vapor piling up with the wind, which shows as white opaque granular structure deposits. The formation of rime requires low temperature and sufficient water vapor, and it is even more rare to have these two extremely important and contradictory natural conditions for the formation of rime.
