  3. 3. Precipitation consisting of transparent pellets of ice 5 mm or less in diameter
  4. 4. A scientist that studies the climate
  5. 5. The climate with hot summers and cold winters; is moist with precipitation in winter and summer
  6. 6. The average of weather over the past thirty (or more) years
  7. 7. The circular motion of water/air caused by warm water/air rising, then cooling and sinking

  14. 23. Precipitation that is transparent or partially opaque particles of ice that range in size from a pea to a golf ball
  15. 26. Low clouds that are often fluffy
  16. 27. A front formed when a warm air mass replaces a cool air mass
  17. 29. Solid form of precipitation composed of ice crystals and fall in flakes
  18. 30. The climate with warm summers (about 10°C); very cold winters with at least one month averaging <-3°C; precipitation amount varies
