some of it would defrost. then for every (umm) second that the snow is there another couple of thousand flakes melt.

What happens to snow if ti falls through a layer of warm air?

They will fall to the ground as snow.If the air is warmer than 0 degrees celsius , the ice crystals will melt.


When does it sleet instead of snow?

1. Snow- Snow forms at temperatures below freezing. For snow to reach the earth's surface the entire temperature profile in the troposphere needs to be at or below freezing. It can be slightly above freezing in some layers if the layer is not warm or deep enough the melt the snow flakes much. The intensity of snow is determined by the accumulation over a given time. Categories of snow are light, moderate and heavy.. Sleet- Sleets are frozen raindrops that strike the earth's surface. In a sleet situation the precipitation aloft when it is first generated will be snow. The snow falls through a layer that is a little above freezing and the snow partially melts. If the snow completely melts it will be more likely to reach the earth's surface as supercooled water instead of sleet. If the snow partially melts there will still be ice within the falling drop for water to freeze on when the drop falls into a subfreezing layer. The lowest layer of the troposphere will be below freezing in a sleet situation and deep enough to freeze drops completely. The lower boundary layer can be above freezing and sleet occur if the sleet does not have time to melt before reaching the surface.


When was When the Snow Falls created?

When the Snow Falls was created in 1985-01.


Does it snow in the mesosphere layer?

No, it does not snow in the mesosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The mesosphere is too dry and thin for snow to form. Snow typically forms in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where most weather phenomena occur.


What is it called when snow falls off a mountain?

When snow falls off a mountain, it is called an avalanche.

What area does snow fall upward?

Snow does not fall upward. If it is very windy, it may appear to be blowing up at times, but it falls due to gravity.If you are fortunate enough to be there when it happens, the wind currents can make it appear as though snow is coming upout of the Grand Canyon.


Could it snow when its 34 degrees in nyc?

It can snow anywhere when it is 34 degrees. The snow will be melting as it falls though, and probably won't accumulate unless it is falling very heavily.


What happens before an avalanch?

Snow falls and a rapid change must occur such as a rapid change in the temperature, strong winds, or heavy snow fall.

What happens to snow if it falls through a layer of warm air?

It melts, partially or totally. If the air remains above freezing the remainder of the way down to the ground, you'll get rain. If there is a sufficient cold layer below the layer of warm air down to the surface, it has time to refreeze into sleet. If there is a very shallow layer of sub-freezing air at the surface, rain will fall but freeze to the surface upon contact.

How do you tell if your allergic to snow?

Touch it and see what happens! You will probably not be allergic to snow or ice though as it is just frozen water!
