Two cases of supercooled precipitation were observed with the McGill wind profiler and X-band Vertically Pointing Radar, respectively. All the relevant spectra were displayed to show some characteristics of the supercooled water, and the interaction between different precipitation components. The empirical relationships between reflectivity and precipitation content are employed to retrieve the snow content and the content of the supercooled liquid water. An alternative method for the supercooled liquid water was also tried and provided a similar result. The results of the calculations lie in the reasonable range of values as compared to previous research result. Some special attention is focused on the study of the precipitation trail, attempting to get some additional information.
