The Bay Area is preparing for a cold snap in the coming week, but there's more to this weather system than scattered showers and chilly winds.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, most frozen precipitation is formed inside of thick and dense stratus clouds. This can create sleet, an often dangerous step up from cold rain — a slurry of ice and very cold water that can collect on roads and walkways to form undetectable slick spots sometimes called"black ice."
