There are at least two solid forms of rain.

PRECIPITATION....

Rain - Liquid
Drizzle - liquid, light, moves with air currents
Freezing Rain - liquid until hitting a cold surface
Freezing Drizzle - see Freezing Rain
Hail - precipitation in the form of balls or irregular lumps of ice
Snow - precipitation of white or translucent ice crystals

Thus ends the meteorological portion of this post which relates to
boating because apparently it never snows in the Pacific Northwest
where they boat all year 'round.

You know, the Eskimos have over 70 words for snow. I wonder
how many different words for "rain" they have in Seattle.
