What happens to snow packed down by a great force?

When snow is packed down by a great force, it becomes denser and more compact. This can create a layer of firn, which is partially compacted snow between fresh snow and glacial ice. Over time, this firn can further compress into glacial ice through the process of metamorphism.


Does lake-effect snow occur in detroit?

Yes! Michigan has a great deal of snow during the winter. Lake effect snow regularly pounds the west coast of the state. The Upper Peninsula is often snow bound. The south eastern corner of the state often misses the largest storms, but still gets its fair share. Yup there is snow there all the time. They even have a few successful ski resorts! The person above me was right about the lake effect. There is just more snow coming off the lakes.

Why is snow a better insulator than ice?

Snow consists of air pockets trapped between ice crystals, providing better insulation due to the air's low thermal conductivity. These air pockets create a barrier that limits the transfer of heat, making snow a more efficient insulator than ice, which is denser and has a higher thermal conductivity.
