one dot right: You are correct about your statement.

frequencies around 10GHz are very much affected by precipitation. Hence, this frequency is used in weather radars. The attenuation can be as much as 1dB/km!

Snow also affect frequencies around 10GHz but not as much as rain.
Snow will have greatest attenuation around 30GHz
