Across
- 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

- 6. an overflowing of a large amount of water beyond its normal confines, especially over what is normally dry land
- 7. a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water
- 10. the occurrence of a natural electrical discharge of very short duration and high voltage between a cloud and the ground or within a cloud, accompanied by a bright flash and typically also thunder
- 11. moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops
