Best Answer

Snow could be dangerous in a variety of ways:

1. You could be attacked by snow leopards when innocently walking around on a mountain.

2. You could be walking on that same mountain and all of a sudden an avalanche knocks you down and you get swept away and suffocate (or drown because technially snow is like water but in solid form) and die.

3. You could be harmlessly eating it and choke

4. You could be going to eat said snow and after putting it in your mouth realize it is yellow snow (ew).

5. You could fall face first into snow and die.

moral of the story: don't play in snow alone. and don't eat yellow snow.

How is precipitation dangerous?

Precipitation includes rain and snow. Too much rain causes flooding, and too much snow causes road blockages and paralysis.

Why do Americans get a snow day when they have an inch of snow?

Not all schools receive snow days just because there is snow on the ground. For instance in the northern part of the country where cities often get heavy or large amounts of snow are more prepared (they have supplies of sand and/or salt to deal with ice as well as many trucks equipped with snow plows). The amount of snow necessary to close schools and businesses could be quite high and usually only happens when it is too dangerous for vehicles to drive until snow can be cleared as much as possible. The southern states which don't receive much snow and therefore don't really need these supplies in large amounts and therefore don't have them readily available for large storms which is why they are more likely to have snow days with very minimal snow on the ground. It could also be that there isn't much snow but the roads are very icy.
