What are the hazards of freezing rain?

The hazards of freezing rain include breaking trees and telephone poles, stopping communication and power supply, obstructing highway and railway traffic, and threatening aircraft flight safety. The wire will be aggravated after icing, and contract when it is cold, which will lead to wire breakage and communication and transmission interruption accidents.

Freezing rain is a mixture of ice and water. When it collides with an object with a temperature below 0℃, it will freeze immediately.

Freezing rain mainly occurs in winter and early spring.
