No. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms when the weather is warm. They often occur in a rain-free portion of a storm, but rain and often hail are generally nearby.
No. It rains.
It is still just a tornado. However, it would be quite unusual to have an actual tornado go through an area where there is snow on the ground, as such conditions would generally be be too cold for tornado formation. Sometimes, though, you can get small whirlwinds that usually result from wind interacting with trees, buildings, and terrain. These are not tornadoes, but harmless eddies. If they lift snow into the air they are somtimes called snow devils.
It is very rare for snow to occur during a tornado. Tornadoes are associated with warm and moist conditions, whereas snow typically requires colder temperatures. However, in extremely rare cases where intense cold air meets warm, moist air, there is a very small chance for snow to occur during a tornado.
It would be highly unusual for a tornado to strike an area where there is snow on the ground. Tornadoes generally occur during periods of warm weather. If such an event were to occur it would be little different from a tornado striking under ordinary circumstances. The tornado would likely lift some snow into the air, but that would be of little to no consequence compared with the damage tornadoes usually inflict.
Yes, a snow tornado, also known as a snow devil or snow whirlwind, can form in certain conditions where a vortex of air picks up snow from the ground. However, snow tornadoes are not as common as their warm-weather counterparts.
snow storms can have a very bad impact they can cause blizards which can knock down houses just like a tornado
A blizzard
Yes there have been reports of tornadoes on snow covered areas.
No. Precipitation is water that falls from the sky in some form, such as rain, snow, or hail. A tornado is basically a violent wind storm. While tornadoes are usually accompanied by rain and often by hail, this precipitation is not directly related to the tornado itself.
No. Precipitation is water in some form (either liquid or frozen) falling from the sky. This may include rain, freezing rain, snow, sleet, graupel, or hail. A tornado does not meet this criterion. A tornado consists of a vortex in which air rapidly spirals inward and then upward. A tornado can be considered a type of whirlwind or wind storm.
Non-examples of a tornado: - hurricane - dust devil - wind storm - blizzard
A blizzard is a storm that brings heavy snow fall that has winds that rarely exceed 60 mph or more miles per A tornado has winds that can reach 200mph or more. blizzards cause less destruction and a tornado can cause a lot of destruction On average tornadoes kill more people than blizzards So a tornado is stronger than a blizzard.
