Here's a question......

I've looked through our winter operation manual and nowhere did I find anything to determine intensities of FZRA. For SN....the chart is there as a function of temp., vis., and day/night to determine intensities.

Anybody know how to determine the intensities of FZRA????
The intensity modifier is for the RA in FZRA. So it is light rain that happens to be freezing. Kind like when you see -TSRA. The FZ in FZRA is just a result of the temperature on the ground I would believe.
