Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a fairly cold temperature. Snow consists of small ice crystals, and so the temperature of a snowflake will be 32 degrees or colder. When we touch snow, it will abosrb heat from our bodies and melt, making it cold to the touch.

What is melted snowflakes or rain and snow together called as?

Is snow produced when a warm front and cold front collide?

No. Snow forms when air that is moist enough rises to an altitude where the temperature is below freezing. Ice crystals that we call snowflakes then form. If it is cold enough near the ground these snowflakes will reach the ground as snow. If it is too warm the snowflakes will melt and become rain.

What forms when a cold air mass meets a warm air mass?

One of two things are created when a cold air mass meets a warm air mass. The most common thing that is created is a cold front with the cold are rising over the warm. This can cause a line of rain and storms to break out. The other is the creation of a warm front, which is more like the warm air nudging in under the cold air. This too can create rain but it is usually less turbulent.


What is heavier a warm front or a cold front?

A warm front is generally heavier than a cold front due to the warm air being less dense than cold air. Warm air rises over cold air at a warm front, creating a less steep slope as compared to the lifting of cold air at a cold front.


Why are snowflakes cold?

Raindrops are cold or cool based on the area the clouds are formed over. If the atmosphere is cold the rain will be freezing cold and could turn to snow. If the sun is over the clouds the rain will be cooling or slightly warm feeling.
