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 else can I help you with?
What is melted snowflakes or rain and snow together called as?
When melted snowflakes and rain mix together, it is called sleet. Sleet usually occurs when there is a warm layer of air above a cold layer near the ground, causing snowflakes to partially melt before reaching the surface.
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.
Is Indonesia's rain warm or cold?

Why are snowflakes cold and not warm like rain?
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.
Is the rain cold or hot?
it is warm but wind makes it cold
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.
What types of front produces rain?
Both warm and cold fronts produce rain.
Does a coniferous forest grow were it is a lot of rain and were it does not get to warm or to cold?
no
What weather happens at cold and warm air fronts?
Rain
What is rain caused by?
Rain is caused when the precipitation forms into clouds and the clouds get heavy and if it is cold enough then it will snow or if it is warm the it will rain.
