Raining supercool water
by Pasi | April 13, 2008 at 09:28 am | 266 views | 3 comments
Today the temperature was just below 0C° and in the morning it was snowing slightly. In the evening snowing turned into rain of supercool water. This means that rain drop's temperature is below normal freezing temperature. This causes the phenomenon, that the water freezes immediately, when it hits the surface.
On the other hand, it causes beautiful "art of nature" as the needles of the trees capture ice cover, but on the other hand, it creates dangerous circumstances in traffic, when the roads can turn to be ice skating rinks. Especially, when it occurs in April and some drivers have changed already summer tires.

Three deaths in car accidents after posting this article. According to the first news, the circumstances have been icy.

Where is this happening? What is the context to make it news? Perhaps knowing where might help. We've had freezing again, and rain, too.

Pasi, I've got a few suggestions, and if you give them a try, I'd be happy to remove this flag. I wasnt sure what was newsworthy in this story. News should always be about posting current stuff - new things you've discovered. Please review What Makes News News. It can really help if you follow the old "W5" news formula -- making sure you have answered the questions: Who? What? Where? When? And Why? (You might want to check out our J-Tips for more help.)
