why do people use the expression its to cold to snow bcos it snows at the poles where its cold all the time?

Yes,it is a fact that it is cold at the poles where it practically snows all the time,but in the US temperatures don't drop that low.\nPeople say that-"it is too cold to snow" , because in this case the temperature is too low(for our geographical positioning) to "hold" water in the air which prevents it from snowing.\nHope that my answer has been useful!

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.

That would be a cold (or at least cool), dry mass of air that originated over a large region of land near the north pole.  (Not over an ocean, unless it was the Arctic Ocean, which is covered by ice.)

I say Brrrr,\nIt's cold in here!\nThere must be a Goddess in the atmosphere!\n\nI say Brrrr,\nIt's cold in here!\nThere must be a Goddess in the atmosphere!\n\nO-E-O-E-O\nIce, ice, ice.

It’s cold there. You can burn it to make warmth.

The cold is less heat\n& since the heat is energy so cold is also an Energy

Snow is associated with cold so it can be a cause why people dislike snow and snow plows help take away the snow so people who hate snow are not the people who hate snow plows most of the times.

Temps close to the freezing point. If you have noticed often when rain is changing to snow quickly,the flakes at times are huge!

it means that nothing is absolute. what ever you say is comparative. for example if we say my house is in north it means it is in north from the house which is more in south. however if we go more towards the north pole then my house will be in south. similarly if we are saying that it is hot that means we are comparing with the thing which is a bit cold and it will be cold if we compare it with more hot object. like India is a developed country in south Asia but is a developing country in the world. you may be rich but you are poorer than the world's richest person.

I like watching the snow fall..how bright and beautiful it is when it is fresh fallen.  I HATE the cold, I hate having to wear layers upon layers of clothes just to stay warm!

we use "for" with "leaving" \nand "to" with "going" or "running" \n\nleaving on (a date, a train)\nleaving for (a destination)\nleaving to (a reason)\nleaving from (a departure point)\n\n\nwhy?  beats me.  It's idiomatic. English usage rules are democratic, not logical.  What 90% of the speakers say, is correct.\n\nThe use of "for" means "with the destination of"  so you can say "headed for trouble" but not "leaving for trouble". \n\n"on" means "in physical contact with" (held by gravity, etc), as in "sitting on a chair", "stuck on the wall"  or "walking on the street"\nalso it means "about" in "speaking on the subject of farming"\nIt could mean "energized" as in "the light was on" \nIt's used with dates, ("on Friday") \n\nI hope this helps.\n\nby the way, a "proposition" is a business offer, commonly understood as an offer of money for sex unless otherwise stated.\n\nThe word you want is "preposition" for a word that comes before a phrase (pre-position)

like what do you mean,like why can you swim in cold weather? because the water is a higher temperature then outside...im learning this right now in science,but i dont listen alot...lol..sorry

The snow line is the point above which, or poleward of which, snow and ice cover the ground throughout the year.\n\nThe interplay of altitude and latitude affect the precise placement of the snow line at a particular location. At or near the equator, it is typically situated at approximately 4,500 meters (or about 15,000 feet) above sea level. As one moves towards the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, the parameter at first increases: in the Himalayas the permanent snow line can be as high as 5,700 metres (18,700 feet). Beyond the Tropics the snow line becomes progressively lower as the latitude increases, falling all the way to sea level itself near the poles.\n\nIn addition, the relative location of a mountain to the nearest coastline can be a factor in how high the snow line would be; a peak near a coast — especially the west coast — of a continent might have a lower snow line than one of the same height and at the same latitude situated in a landmass interior, because the average summer temperature of the surrounding lowlands would be warmer in the latter spot than in the former, thus making a higher altitude necessary to keep the snow from melting in the summer.

The temperature must drop below freezing up in the atmosphere,  where there is a concentration of water vapor. Typically this is caused when a warm front (full of water) rolls over a cold front -- the drop in temperature condenses the water high up and it drops to the ground as snow. But it can also happen when a cold front moves over a lake (ie. lake-effect snow). This is seen in a place like Buffalo.

It gets colder as you go up through the troposphere because the air is "thinner".\n\nThere is less atmosphere here due to less gravity.\n\nB/c there is less air, there will be less heat. Air is an insulator that holds heat. Less air = less heat.\n\n:)

there is ice when it is cold, this is known as being frozen
