Well, it can't really be calculated unless you have a Doppler radar or some other kind of weather tracking device. Try looking for a website that has a weather tracker on it.
Garrett, Maryland had rain and snow at the same time during Hurricane Sandy.
A mixture of rain and snow falling at the same time is known as sleet.
Cool air cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air, so tiny drops of water will condense, or form in the cloud.They fall to the earth as rain, or as hail or snow if they are frozen.The rain or snow adds water to rivers, lakes, and streams. The water seeps into the ground. Over time, rivers and streams carry the water back to the oceans. And the water cycle continues.I hope this helped! :)
Yes, it can rain or snow nonstop for a period of time.
The chances that it will rain or snow at a given time.
Bad weather, like snow or rain.
There are two main rain/snow making clouds. Nimbostratus, a thick uniformly grey cloud at low heights will cause light to moderate rain or snow to fall over long periods of time. Cumulonimbus, a massive white towering cloud sometimes with the shape of an anvil, with a very dark appearance from below. These clouds will make very heavy rain/snow fall over a short time, often with the presence of lightning. These are the clouds that will make rain and snow
They will sleep (nor hibernate) for extended periods of time when it is bitterly cold and the ground is covered in deep snow, making the search for food difficult.
No I dont think so. Because if its cold enough to snow, the coldness would just freeze the rain and snow, making it into ice. So Im pretty sure it all that would turn into ice.
Not really. The wettest time of year is mud season (spring) because we get rain instead of snow and the snow is melting.
Yes, this occurs when the temperature is around freezing at the surface and is only marginally favorable for snow aloft. All the precipitation begins as snow in the clouds, but on the way to the ground it encounters enough warm air for some of it to melt into rain. The result is a mixture of rain and snow, and is very common. In fact, you can even get a mixture of rain, sleet, and snow!
Brief periods of rain refer to short bursts of rainfall that typically last for a short amount of time, usually less than an hour. These showers may be intermittent and can vary in intensity, with periods of heavier and lighter rain within a short time frame. They are common in many regions and are often followed by clearing skies.
