What is Freezing Rain

Freezing rain occurs when liquid raindrops formed in a layer of warm air well above the surface fall into a layer of freezing air above the ground. If the layer of freezing air is thin enough, raindrops do not have enough time to freeze before reaching the ground.  Instead, the water freezes on contact with a surface, creating a coating of ice on whatever the raindrops touch.

Maintenance is one of the most critical points in business. It prevents operational hiccoughs and additional damage to valuable equipment and - at the end of the day - everything it does leads to cost savings. Historically, maintenance went through different stages of development: from a simple “fix it when failure occurs” approach called reactive maintenance, through scheduled maintenance called preventive maintenance and maintenance based on monitoring the condition of the assets, called condition-based maintenance, to the more evolved form of predictive maintenance, which is based on creating models using the data gathered in the previous stage.
