freezing rain

Freezing rain occurs when the tempurature in the cloud and directly below the cloud are above freezing (32 degrees F), and the ground or surfaces that the rain hits are below 32 degrees. The result is big enough to shut the Washington DC metro area down for a few days.
We had freezing rain last night, so they cancelled school for a week.

CDMA

Code Division Multiple Access

A spread spectrum approach for the digital transmission of data/voice over radio frequencies. Sound bits are digitized and the data is split into data packets that are encoded with unique identification tags. All of the data/voice is sent over a spread range of radio frequencies. The cell phone or data device receives all of the data packets but only re-assembles those packets with the correct code and transforms the broken-up bits of data into useful sound and data. This allows more traffic for a finite number of available frequencies than analog or the other digital standards.
My LG phone does CDMA, TDMA, and GSM, as well as analog modes.
