Unlike sleet, a mixture of rain and snow, ice pellets, or hail, freezing rain is made entirely of liquid droplets . The raindrops become supercooled while passing through a sub-freezing layer of air hundreds of meters above the ground, and then freeze upon impact with any surface they encounter, including the ground, trees, electrical wires, aircraft, and automobiles . The resulting ice, called glaze, can accumulate to a thickness of several centimeters and cover all exposed surfaces . The METAR code for freezing rain is FZRA . </P> <P> A storm that produces a significant thickness of glaze ice from freezing rain is often referred to as an ice storm . Although these storms are not particularly violent, freezing rain is notorious for causing travel problems on roadways, breaking tree limbs, and downing power lines from the weight of accumulating ice . Downed power lines cause power outages in affected areas while accumulated ice can also pose significant overhead hazards . It is also known for being extremely dangerous to aircraft since the ice can effectively' remould' the shape of the airfoil and flight control surfaces . (See atmospheric icing .) </P>
