Temperature needed to create snow?
Any under 0. It is a mistake to think it can be too cold for snow. As long as the temperature is under 0 degrees snow is possible.
Can you get ill from being out in the rain?
You can get hypothermia, when your temperature drops too low, from the rain, even if it's not very cold. Water lowers your temperature VERY quickly as compared to air. However, it is NOT true that you can get a cold or flu or any such bacterial or viral illness from rain, snow, cold, or any other environmental.
What is the meaning of the phrase it' too cold to snow?
This saying, certainly in England, has got nothing to do with whether there is or isn't a temperature below which its scientifically impossible to snow. It has to do with people's experience, over generations, of when it snows here. If you spend enough winters getting around outdoors, you can feel when there's been that slight rise in temperature which indicates that the snow clouds are starting to cover the sky. This is especially noticeable if it's been perishing cold with no snow for several days. So, snow is often accompanied by a slight rise in the temperature that we feel on the ground because of the snow-cloud cover. As long as those snow clouds don't form and cover the sky and the temperature doesn't rise that little bit, then it will stay "too cold to snow". Snow fall, like rain, occurs when a moist air mass (clouds) encounters a colder air mass. When sufficiently cold the condensation crystallizes, resulting in snow flakes. Records indicate an area typically receieves much more snowfall when the temperature ranges between 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit (-7 to 0 degrees Celsius) than at any of the temperatures below 20° F (-7° C). This is because the colder air tends to be drier. It does not contain as much water vapor. The coldest nights tend to be completely cloudless.
What temperature does rain occur?
temperature isn't a factor when it comes to rain. If the atmosphere is too cold though, the rain could turn into sleet/hail/snow
Does cold temperature cause more snow or temperature doesn't matter too much?
If someone finds the answer please message me so I wont forget to look at it! I need to know it.
Do snow leopards have to be cold?
The Snow Leopard survives in warm weather too but is well adapted to cold.
Are there snow otters in Antarctica?
No. The Southern Ocean is not hospitable to any kind of otter -- it's too cold.
Is there a place where there aren't any reptiles?
Antarctica. It's too cold for cold blooded animals to regulate their body temperature
What temperature does it have to be to camp in a tent?
Any temperature. as long as its not too hot or cold for whoever camping.
Why is snow thick?
Snow is moist so that makes it cling together. Moist snow is great for making snowballs and forts. However, not all snow likes to cling together, if the temperature is too cold, the snow is less moist and thgus does not cling together at all very well.
Is there any snow in Antarctica?
There is no snow in Antarctica: it's too cold. Blowing ice crystals, however, create blizzards and can serve as white-out conditions that people may be familiar with in geographies where it does snow.
Can snow occur during a tornado?
No. Tornadoes are often accompanied by rain or hail, but if it is cold enough for snow, it is too cold for a tornado.
