The correct answer is:

✅ Rain that freezes on impact

Silver thaw (also called freezing rain) occurs when:

Supercooled rain falls through a shallow layer of subfreezing air near the ground.

The droplets instantly freeze on contact with cold surfaces (trees, power lines, roads).

This creates a smooth, glazed ice coating (hence "silver" appearance).

Black ice on roads (invisible and extremely slippery).

Tree branches/power lines snap under ice weight.

❌ Windy: Causes blowing snow but not freezing rain.

❌ Blizzard: Heavy snow + wind, not icy glaze.

Fun Fact: A 1998 ice storm in Canada/US caused $5 billion in damage from silver thaw! 💎❄️

Stay safe: Avoid walking/driving on it—it’s like a skating rink! ⛸️⚠️
