- 2. atmospheric water vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes or lying on the ground as a white layer
- 4. an instrument for measuring and indicating temperature, typically one consisting of a narrow, hermetically sealed glass tube marked with graduations and having at one end a bulb containing mercury or alcohol that expands and contracts in the tube with heating and cooling.
- 8. the process of turning from liquid into vapor
- 9. a severe snowstorm with high winds and low visibility
