Yes, just as it can rain, too. It just means the precipitation has either blown from a nearby cloud, or the sun isn't very high in the sky (which is typical). It is characteristic of more showery precipitation, which doesn't produce those low stratus clouds that create overcast, grey skies.

Can snow melt at 30 degrees F?

Yes, snow can melt at 30 degrees Fahrenheit if there is sufficient sunlight or warmth to raise the temperature above freezing. Snow can melt when the ambient temperature is at or slightly above freezing as long as the snow is exposed to heat sources like the sun.


Why does snow melt at below freezing temperatures?

This is due too electromagnetic wave mainly UV waves from the sun hit the top layer of the snow which causes the molecules too move rapidly causing a energy transformation to thermal energy. even on a cloudy day UV rays still can penetrate the atmosphere.


What melts hard snow?

Hard snow can be melted by applying heat, such as using a snow-melting solution that contains salt or chemicals designed to lower the freezing point of water. Other methods include using hot water, heating elements, or simply waiting for the sun to warm and melt the snow.


What causes snow to sparkle in the sun?

Snow sparkles in the sun due to a phenomenon called the "glint effect." When sunlight hits the surface of snowflakes, it gets reflected and refracted in multiple directions, creating a sparkling effect. The unique structure of snowflakes, with their intricate crystalline shapes, also contributes to this sparkling appearance.


Is snow rain?

No, snow and rain are two different forms of precipitation. Snow falls as frozen ice crystals, while rain falls as liquid water droplets. Snow forms when the temperature is cold enough for water vapor to freeze before it reaches the ground, whereas rain forms when water droplets combine and fall from clouds.

Would it snow on the sun?

No. Because the sun is hotter than 500 degrees Celsius and the sun is just a big ball of gas. So it is impossible for it to snow on the sun. Apparently the sun is going to explode in about 200000 years... two billion years if you don't understand the number.

What causes snow to melt in spring?

Snow melts in spring due to warmer temperatures and increased sunlight. The heat from the sun warms the snow, causing it to melt into water. This process is also influenced by factors like air temperature and humidity.


What effect would the Sun's radiation have on a snow-covered driveway?

The Sun's radiation would cause the snow on the driveway to melt. The sunlight warms the snow, causing it to melt and turn into water. Over time, this will lead to the snow on the driveway disappearing.

Does it snow on the sun?

No, it does not snow on the sun. The sun is a giant ball of gas, primarily made up of hydrogen and helium, and its surface temperature is around 5500 degrees Celsius. Snow is made up of ice crystals, which require much lower temperatures to form.
