Is snow a good conductor of electricity?

Answer 1

Snow, is sort a good because for the kids to play with it...and on the other side its bad moms and dads have to clean it up so,...Snow is pretty good and bad 50/50...!

Answer 2

No, snow is not a good conductor of electricity because it is a poor conductor of heat and electricity due to its low density and high resistance. Snow is made up of ice crystals with air pockets between them, which reduces its ability to conduct electricity.

Answer 3

no

Since it is a form of water, yes. If a power line goes down in the snow, it is more conductive than regular earth, so stay clear of the wire.

Answer 4

yes if it has some other contaminants mixed in it like in case of water.

if it is pure snow, then I'm not sure.

Answer 5

Depends a bit on the type of snow.

Fluffy snow is a poor conductor and a good insulator, but the more compressed, ice-like, or watery it becomes the better condutor it gets.
