What creates freezing rain conditions vs. snow?

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?

Freezing rain is when rain is supercooled so that it freezes immediately when it his a surface. Everything gets coated with a layer of ice. Not nearly as much fun as snow 🙂
