Hello from Central TX! A few weeks ago, we got tons of pillowy, perfect snow for the 1st time in my life.
This weekend, we are getting dangerous freezing rain. What conditions create freezing rain instead of wonderful snow?

Along with what others have said. You can have above freezing temps for rain like 35 or 36 F and get a bunch of rain. Then while the ground and streets are still very wet from the recent rain you have a sudden plunge in temp within a few hours. Like from 35 to 20. Resulting in all that water covering everything suddenly freezing. Coating quite literally everything in a sheet of ice.
