Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As you move toward a warm front in winter, the typical sequence of precipitation types you would experience starts with snow (due to the cold air ahead of the front), followed by sleet (as the warmer air starts to override the colder air at the surface, partially melting the snowflakes), then freezing rain (when the snowflakes fully melt in the warm air aloft but refreeze upon contacting the still-cold surface), and finally rain (once the surface temperature rises above freezing as the warm front passes).
