What conditions are responsible for a heavy snow?
Table A-9 Intensity of Snow or Drizzle Based on Visibility Intensity Criteria Light Visibility >1/2 mile. Moderate Visibility >1/4 mile but < or = 1/2 mile. Heavy Visibility < or = 1/4 mile. This is from the dept of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M. The following website describes the criteria for an "aviation routine weather report" http://www.met.tamu.edu/class/METAR/metar-pg9-ww.html
Why should you not use high-beam headlights in snow heavy rainor fog?
Because the light can reduce visibility and reflect back into the driver's eyes as heavy rain, fog or snow falls.
What does a snowstorm do to the visibility?
A snowstorm significantly reduces visibility by creating a whiteout effect. This occurs when snow is falling heavily, reducing visibility to a few meters or less. It becomes difficult to see objects or landmarks, making it dangerous to navigate and travel during a snowstorm.
How is a snowburst dangerous?
Reduced visibility and the rapid accumalation of snow
What is snow reduces visibility to almost zero?
smoke
What is visibility?
The greatest distance that can be seen with the naked eye. If there is low visibility, such as fog and snow, a person cannot see far. If there is high visibility, a person could see far away.
Why is it so bright outside after dark when it snows?
When it snows, the snowflakes reflect light, making the surroundings appear brighter even at night. The white color of snow also helps to bounce back more light, increasing visibility in the darkness. This phenomenon is known as "snow glow" or "reflected light."
Traits of blizzards?
A blizzard is a strong snow storm. It is defined by high winds that produce blowing snow and creates very limited visibility.
What cars would you recommend that has good visibility and can get around in the snow and ice really good?
