Hi! I'm Nicolas Shelton, a writer & graphic artist here at Boldmethod!
I'm a flight instructor dedicated to finding simple explanations for complex topics. I started flying while I was a senior in high school and got my Private Pilot's license a month after graduating. I learned to fly in the small (yet forgiving) Cessna 152. These days I mostly fly Piper Archer Tx's, Warriors, Arrows, and Seminoles.
I am currently attending Purdue University, where I am majoring in Professional Flight & minoring in Atmospheric Science. Outside of my classes, I am involved with many student organizations on campus and enjoy film-making in my free time.

At the surface, freezing drizzle might seem like just a smaller version of freezing rain. While this may be true in some ways, the process that forms each is different.
