When the snow is on the ground?

The snow will stick to the ground if the ground is cold enough to keep the snow frozen. If the ground is too warm, it will melt the snow right as the snow hits the ground. The air temperature isn't always the same as ground temperature, keep in mind, because a solid, such as rock and dirt, holds heat longer than air. another answer:snow falls because the air in the cloud is too cold and form ice crystals,they then get too heavy and fall.falling snow gets enlarged while fallling but it also breaks into parts.when snow hits the ground it builds up and creates a mound of snow.when it gets hot the snow melts and evaporates and snows or rains somewhere else in the world


Is snow produced when a warm front and cold front collide?

No. Snow forms when air that is moist enough rises to an altitude where the temperature is below freezing. Ice crystals that we call snowflakes then form. If it is cold enough near the ground these snowflakes will reach the ground as snow. If it is too warm the snowflakes will melt and become rain.


How rain is different from snow?

Falling snow melts as it reaches a warm atmosphere and it turns into rain as it comes down to earth. If the air is cold enough, it remains snow when it reaches the ground.


What does snow become when it passes through warm air then melts then refreezes near the ground?

You get ice pellets, colloquially known as sleet in the US.


Why does all snow not melt in the mountains?

At high altitudes, the air is so thin that the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere is not sufficient to keep the air warm enough to melt the snow most of the time.

Are snow leopards warm blooded or cold blooded?

Snow leopards are members of the cat family and are mammals. This means that snow leopards are warm blooded, because their bodies maintain a consistent temperature on their own. Cold blooded animals, such as snakes, lizards, reptiles or amphibians, depend on the environment to keep them warm.

What does snow do to keep winter cold?

Snow insulates the ground. It keeps the ground below it frozen which keeps the air around it cold.

How does snow keep the earth warm?

Why do mountaineers who are lost in blizzards dig snow-holes to keep warm?

This biggest reason mountaineers builds snow shelters is to keep warm. I know this sounds backwards, but snow actually acts as an insulator. If you can build a tight shelter, just big enough for your body, your body and breath can warm the air inside enough to help keep you warm -or warmer than you would be otherwise.
