It soon then becomes powdered snow and sometimes makes sleet or hailstones too.

What is the type of precipitation for the taiga?
Very little Mostly snow is part of the precipitation.
What type of weather is Buffalo famous for?
Lake effect snow.
What type of air has a realative humidity of 100 percent?
That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.
Temperatures in a cloud are below freezing a warmer air lies between the cloud and the ground what type of precipitation do you predict will occur?
Snow will form because snow falls through colder and drier air:)
Are rain sleet snow and hail forms of precipatation?
Yes, it falls as a frozen form of water, then it's precipitation.
How does the humidity of air affect the type of snow that falls?
When snow falls through humid air that is close to freezing, the snowflakes tend to join together into larger clumps in which the individual crystals are hard to see. Powdery snow is produced when snow falls through cold dry air
How does the humidity of the air affects the type of snow that falls?
When snow falls through humid air that is close to freezing, the snowflakes tend to join together into larger clumps in which the individual crystals are hard to see. Powdery snow is produced when snow falls through cold dry air
How does humidity affect the type of snow?
It has much more of an effect up in the so-called snow growth region of the clouds than it does at the surface. After all, snowflakes have already fully formed as they fall to the surface. At the surface, humidity tends to be pretty high. If it's not, the snow will sublimate before reaching the ground until the atmospheric column is saturated.

What is the type of snow that buffalo gets hit wih?
Much of their snow is "lake effect snow".
Why does some snow stick together and some does not?
Moisture. Wet snow contains more water in liquid form, which allows it to bond and "stick" with other snow. This type of snow is common when snow falls at temperatures near freezing. Dryer snow does not stick together because it is almost entirely ice crystals, and this type of snow falls at colder temperatures.

Lake effect snow.
Is snow the only type of precipitation that falls during a snowstorm?
No, depending on temperature and other factors you may also get hail, freezing rain, sleet, etc. during a snowstorm. An area can get heavy, wet snow, or light fluffy snow. You can get white out conditions, blowing snow, and lake effect snow. An area can also get Black Ice on roadways, and Thundersnow in the clouds.
Is humidity heat?
No its the amount of moisture in the air. In effect humidity means it will be hotter with summer type temperatures (because its harder for the sweat galnds to cool yourself because of the film of moisture from humidity) and in winter humidity makes it colder (for same reason, but different effect - its a cold layer sitting on your skin and you feel 'damp'
What type of precipitation falls during an occluded front?
At an occluded front, rain or snow can fall. Hope this helps. =)
What type of air has a realative humidity of 100 percent?
That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.

Snow will form because snow falls through colder and drier air:)
