Snow

Snow is a form of precipitation that consists of ice crystals which fall from clouds when atmospheric conditions are cold enough. It typically occurs when moisture in the atmosphere freezes and falls to the ground as snowflakes, which can vary in size and shape. Snow is commonly associated with winter weather and is characterized by its white, fluffy appearance. On the ground, snow can accumulate and create a layer that affects the landscape, covering trees, buildings, and the earth itself. Snow plays a significant role in the climate system and can influence ecosystems, water supply, and recreational activities. Its presence can lead to various phenomena such as snowstorms and blizzards, impacting travel and safety.
