count me in! havent seen snow in my life. i live in the tropics so it's only hot or cold season... sun rays and rain ( typhoon). I love the weather here. I just want to experience snow once or twice or thrice but not as often as you do. cant live with it.

The snow holds pockets of air which act as insulation.Because they are low and round the heat circulates lower in the shelter.The heat is provided by the human body and can be regulated by the individual possessing that body.The igloo also shelters from the elements such as wind chill

Here's more than you probably ever wanted to know about sleet.\nDefinitions of sleet on the Web:\n\n    * precipitate as a mixture of rain and snow; "If the temperature rises above freezing, it will probably sleet"\n    * partially melted snow (or a mixture of rain and snow)\n      wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn\n\n    * Whereas hail forms within clouds, sleet begins as snow falling to earth after having left its originating cloud. The snow partially melts on its trip down in a layer of warm air but then refreezes into ice crystals that appear much like hail.\n      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleet\n\n    * Depending on the region, precipitation of rain or snow mixed, or rain and hail, or rain and ice pellets, or melting snow, or sudden and brief rainfall with wind and hail.\n      www.palmbeachdailynews.com/weather/content/shared/weather/weather_glossary.html\n\n    * Rain that turns to ice pellets before reaching the ground. Sleet also causes roads to freeze and become slippery.\n      weathereye.kgan.com/cadet/disaster/glossary.html\n\n    * A type of frozen precipitation, consisting of small transparent pellets.\n      ggweather.com/glossary.htm\n\n    * Frozen or partly frozen rain.\n      www.telemet.com/weather_gloss_s.htm\n\n    * Precipitation consisting of transparent pellets of ice, 5 millimeters or less in diameter. Also called ice pellets. Forms when snow enters a warm layer of air above the surface and melts and then enters a deep layer of sub freezing air on the surface and refreezes.\n      www.weca.org/nws-terms.html\n\n    * Describes solid grains of ice formed by the freezing of raindrops or the refreezing of largely melted snowflakes. These grains usually bounce upon impact with the ground or pavement. Heavy sleet is a relatively rare event defined as an accumulation of ice pellets covering the ground to a depth of 1/2" or more. See Ice Pellets.\n      www.srh.weather.gov/srh/jetstream/append/glossary_s.htm\n\n    * also called ice pellets. Sleet is formed when raindrops or melted snowflakes freeze as they pass through a below-freezing layer of air near the earth's surface. Sleet does not normally stick to trees and wires, and usually bounces on hitting the ground. An accumulation of sleet often has the consistency of dry sand.\n      www.sws.uiuc.edu/atmos/statecli/Winter/glossary.htm\n\n    * Frozen or partially frozen rain that form when rain passes through a layer of air that is below the freezing temperature, falls to earth as a slush. Freshwater.\n      www.coolantarctica.com/Antarctica%20fact%20file/antarctica_glossary_of_terms2.htm\n\n    * a form of precipitation in which droplets are partially frozen as water-ice (or water-snow) mixture.\n      www.naturalhazards.org/glossary/\n\n    * in the US, a term used to describe tiny ice pellets that are formed when rain or partially melted snowflakes refreeze before reaching the ground. Colloquial usage of the term coincides with British usage, which defines sleet as a mixture of rain and snow.\n      www.pnl.gov/atmos_sciences/Cdw/Glossary.html\n\n    * Frozen precipitation that results when rain drops freeze while falling, before hitting the ground. This occurs when rain falls through a layer of colder air underlying a layer of warmer air. See Temperature Inversion.\n      wilstar.com/skywatch_glossary.htm\n\n    * 1. See ice pellets. 2. In British terminology, and colloquially in some parts of the United States, precipitation in the form of a mixture of rain and snow.\n      amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/browse\n\n    * Sleet is frozen precipitation falling as ice pellets. Ice pellets occur when snowflakes melt into raindrops as they pass through a thin layer of warmer air. The raindrops then refreeze into particles of ice when they fall into a layer of sub-freezing air near the surface of the earth.\n      www.weather.com/encyclopedia/winter/precip.html\n\n    * precipitation which is a mixture of rain and ice.\n      www.tex

I have some outside my house right now- its cold and white- its pretty when it first falls and everything is covered evenly, but once the snow plows come in, the snow gets mixed with dirt and then becomes dirty, grey and its tough to drive in and it causes a lot of car accidents and people slip and fall- and its a pain to shovel because there are different types of snow- the light fluffy kind and the heavy wet kind- the heavy kind causes muscle and back aches to shovel because it is HEAVY!!  I will say though- its nice to have white Christmas'

Snow is frozen water that floats\n\nHail is tiny pieces of ice that get caught in an updraft repeatedly such that they freeze when they reach the higher atmosphere. Eventually, the tiny piece of ice gets so big that the ice is heavier than the updraft can handle and it falls. Therefore, if a storm has very strong updrafts, you can get grapefruit sized hail or small updrafts, golfball or smaller.

Before it snows the sky may be clear permitting ground heat to be lost by radiation cooling to outer space.  The temperature may drop well below freezing.  While it is snowing the "snow cloud" blocks radiation cooling and reflects heat back to the ground.  Snow forms when the cloud moisture drops to 32F and water gives up its latent heat while freezing which opposes a further temperature drop.

Have a Winter Sport.  Build a snowman, throw a snowball, go sledding, go to the movies, rent a movie.  Because when the weather is nice, we don't waste a minute of it in front of the TV or at the movies.  We are boating, fishing, camping, watersking, wakeboarding, just floating in a tube soaking up the sunshine storing it up for a rainy day.  I'm from Sunny San Diego, but moved to beautiful northern Idaho and wouldn't go back for anything.  Not even for constant sunshine.

why are you asking this in winter sports?

what you see on the cirrus clouds (the streaks, or tails) and slowly fading away is actually snow. blown byt the winds =)
