Across
  1. 1. water or ice falling from a cloud that evaporates before reaching the ground
  2. 3. frozen dew
  3. 4. Weather characterized by ceilings lower than 500 feet AGL and/or visibility less than one stature mile.
  4. 6. when precipitation occurs in amounts too small to be measured.
  5. 9. A state of equilibrium where the same amount of H2O molecules are leaving a water surface as are returning.
  6. 10. A severe weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds bearing a great amount of snow.
  7. 12. vapor to water
  8. 13. ice crystals that descend from cirrus cloudsAGL
  9. 14. warm air moves over cold water or land
  10. 15. vapor directly to solid with no liquid phase
Down
  1. 2. Ground cools during the night, absorbs heat from the air, cold layer of air along the ground
  2. 5. Ice crystal deposits formed by sublimation
  3. 7. The production of a precipitation particle when a supercooled water droplet freezes as it collides with a snowflake or a smaller ice particle
  4. 8. Level at which a cloud froms in rising air
  5. 11. the height above the surface of the base of the lowest layer of clouds that hides 5/8 of more of the sky.
