Will snow accumulate above 32 degrees Fahrenheit?

Answer 1

Not always. Rain can fall in less than 32 degree temperatures and can be in the form of sleet or ice pellets or just rain that freezes on contact with frozen ground. 32 degrees or below cause 32 is freezing point of water

Answer 2

Yes, and sometimes even when it's slightly warmer. This is because the water drops fall through an atmospheric layer that is cold enough to freeze it, and it doesn't melt back into rain by the time it reaches the ground.

Answer 3

Yes, depending on several factors such as winds, updrafts, humidity, etc.

Temperature is usually measured at the earth's surface, where people live and are affected by it. It can snow above freezing (at the surface) if the clouds that are dropping moisture are in a colder section of the sky. Remember, the higher you go, the cooler it gets.

Answer 4

Yes. The freezing point of water is 32 degrees F, so any temperature below that will allow for snow.

There have actually been cases recorded of snow on days warmer than 32F, since the snow forms up in the sky where it is cooler than on the ground.

Answer 5

Well when rain falls from a high altitude it slowing flurries if the temperate is under 32 degrees which is the freezing point so yes rain does turn into snow.

Answer 6

NO
