Snow is precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes. Since it is composed of small rough particles it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless packed by external pressure.\n\nSnow is commonly formed when water vapor undergoes deposition high in the atmosphere at a temperature of less than 0°C, and then falls to the ground.\n\n\nIF YOU HAVE SOME ICE, GRATE it into small pieces. Then you have sorta what snow is! Similar to a SNOWCONE.\n\nCOLD, YUCKY, NOT FUN TO DRIVE IN OR SHOVEL, WET and NASTY STUFF!

Our snow usually lasts only a few days at most. Last year, we had snow the first week of December and then again in early March - that was it. I'm a bit south of Redmond, out toward Maple Valley, and we just had about 30 minutes of thundersnow (thunder and lightning, while snowing), very cool!\n\nA few years back we had an ice storm, that was nasty. But it's only happened that once in the 10 years I've lived in the area.

I lived in Louisiana for 30 years and never saw one snowflake except in pictures!\nI moved to Washington state and my first year here it snowed-  I did not know that snow really glittered!!!  I thought that was only in the movies- it is amazingly beautiful!!  It has not snowed since then,  I am told that where I am snow is not common, every few years or so- so it would be nice to get a little this year- at least I am close enough to take a 30 min - 1 hour drive to go and play in some snow during the season.\nEveryone should see snow at least once in their life!\n\nIn Louisiana, we just put on our shorts and a t shirt and had fun in the warm winter sun :)\n\nI hope you get your snow !

Depends on where you live.  In the polar regions, it snows alla time, it never rains.

If you look at an individual snowflake you will find that the frozen water it contains is quite clear. It is only snow in drifts that looks white. Why? Because snow in drifts is  made up of millions of tiny pieces of ice.\n\n\nEvery time light passes from one substance to another rit changes direction. So when you see something underwater it looks like it’s in a different place to where it is because the light has changed direction moving from the water to the air.\n\nWhen light changes direction like that it also gets split up into different colours  a bit, just like if it had passed through a prism.  It isn’t split as completely as if it has passed through a prism, but the blue light gets split out just a bit more than the red. And every time it changes direction it gets split more and more.\n\n\nWhen light passes through a snow drift it will change direction every single time it shines into every individual snowflake. So light shining on a snowdrift changes direction millions of times. And every time it changes direction it gets split up a bit more. By the time it has shone right through the drift it has changed direction so many times that it has completely split into all the separate colours.\n\nWhen your eyes see an object that is producing light in al the different colours at once it registers that as white. And because the light shining through a snowdrift been split into all the different colours the snow becomes white.\n\nIce on a stream or lake on the other hand is a single block, not millions of pieces like a snowdrift. When light shines through a block of ice it changes direction just twice: once when it enters the ice and once when it leaves it. It doesn’t change direction often enough to get split up very much, so the light coming though looks normal, and not white. The ice appears clear.

That would depend on your location.  In the Southern Hemisphere, it is summer time on December 25th.  Many parts of the US don't get any snow, even during winter.  I would imagine that it has snowed SOMEWHERE EVERY Christmas for the last 65 years.

right now?  well it depends on which part of NY you want to know about....right now on Long Island it is cold...in the 30's and we have some left over snow from yesterday's storm.  The sun is bright and beautiful and the sky is a light blue with a few wispy clouds.....

Sorry you have had so much grief with the cold weather.\n\nWell, winter usually does bring cold weather and not knowing where you are, would give us a clue as to why, but I bet forecasters did give a hint that it might be that way.

Cold and snowy (supprisingly enough)

Well, the first question should be "Why is snow white?"  \n\nA beam of white sunlight entering a snow bank is so quickly scattered by a zillion ice crystals and air pockets that most of it comes zinging right back out of the snow bank. No one wavelength is preferentially absorbed or reflected, so snow is essentially the color of the sunlight reflecting off it -- white. \n\nThen, when the snow melts...it's a clear(ish - depending on the purity of the snow) liquid, and is absorbed into the surroundings, or maybe it evaporates.  Voila!  No more color.

Switzerland....because i've never seen snow in my life.

Snow is the result of an absence of a video signal, and since the color information is carried in the video signal, if you have none you have no color.

The white is the color that is reflected to our eyes when it reflects off a pack of snow.  As snow accumulates there are millions of surfaces that this light can reflect from.  You can not see through the snow even though it is frozen water because of this.  \n\nIf you look through a microscope at one snow flake it is pretty transparent but not completely.  That is because the amount of reflective surfaces are only a few and going in only a few directions.

If you're hiking, get the GPS locater thingy. Snow can come on fast and change a landscape completely. Always have something dry you can change into, hypothermia isn't your friend. Don't keep going in a storm ever ever ever, get shelter and wait or you're most likely to get lost. Know the terrain ahead of time and stay out of avalanche country especially as a novice. Layers are your friend, sweat isn't take it easy. Don't drink alcohol, you can't feel the cold and you get hypothermia faster. Take in everything, snow camping is beautiful and sparkly and fresh. It takes what you know and makes it alien, so have a camera or no one will believe you!

It snowed once in like 1989, but very small amount. \n\nThe other day, our temperature dropped to like 34F degrees at 5:00 AM. Snow Temp is 32F.

yes it snowed once and its been years i dont know the exact year.\nafter that it has never snowed and i dont know about the future either.\nit does not snow. we do get cold fonts, all the time the weather is hot and thats why we are known for the beaches here.
