trying to put it simply

Snow and hail are water that has frozen in the cloud and falls to the ground in a frozen state (think the sky is as cold or colder than the ground)

Freezing rain is water that falls to as rain but becomes frozen as if reaches the ground (think the ground is colder than the sky)

I hope that helps

Cheers Keno!

So what they mean is freezing puddles really! Surely once it hits the ground it ceases to be rain?!

Not really. Freezing rain forms a sheet of ice on a supercooled surface, rather than frozen puddles. Hence it’s a bit more of a danger to people.

It doesn’t just spread, and freeze, on hitting the ground everything is covered in a layer of ice, power lines, trees, cars etc.

Not just freezing rain, mate. Normal rain is a killer too. You put a few bunches of rain together and you've got yourself a flood. I wouldn't wish a flood on anyone - indiscriminate lethal killers. Not a laughing matter at all.

Water? Pah. That’s nowt lad. You should try the privatised water companies version - raw sewage which comes up through your shower plug hole, drains and toilets then overflows, flooding your home from inside … 💩💩

I was taught that hail is frozen rain and snow frozen atmosphere from within clouds hence why it forms as crystals rather than lumps of water like hail.
