Snow and Ice

The record snowfall in Hawaii was 60 inches (5 feet) on Mauna Kea on May 12-13, 1979.

it's either there would be cold rain drops or no rain at all because the weather isn't hot so there would be less evaporation and the wind activity is much lesser I think. What does very cold mean? I suspect it would turn to snow or ice.

A glacier.

An ice sheet is a massive glacier that covers land, while an ice shelf is a floating platform of ice attached to the coast. Ice sheets are formed from accumulated snow over thousands of years, while ice shelves are formed from glaciers flowing off the land.

A lot of snow refers to a large accumulation or depth of snowfall in a particular area, typically causing disruptions to transportation, daily activities and infrastructure. The term can be subjective based on local climate conditions, but it generally implies significant snowfall beyond what is considered typical for the region.

Snow conditions in Reno can vary depending on the time of year. In general, snow is more likely in the winter months, particularly from November to March. It's best to check current weather reports for up-to-date information on snow conditions in Reno.

If you were to cut a really big hailstone in half, you would likely find alternating layers of clear ice and cloudy ice. These layers form as the hailstone moves through different layers of the atmosphere where it encounters varying temperatures and degrees of humidity, resulting in the ice crystals forming differently.

In its solid form, the molecules in ice are more tightly packed and have a fixed geometric structure, making it harder than liquid water. When water freezes, the molecules form a crystal lattice, which gives ice its rigid and solid properties.

No, Sindh province in Pakistan does not typically receive snowfall due to its hot and arid climate. Snowfall is rare in lower-lying regions like Sindh where temperatures remain high throughout the year.

Water changes into ice when its temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius, causing the water molecules to slow down and form a rigid structure with a hexagonal lattice. This process is called freezing, where the liquid water molecules lose energy and align themselves into a solid crystalline structure to become ice.

32" as if Feb 21, compared to the typical 48" at this point in the season.

The highest peaks of the Hawaiian mountains, like Mauna Kea on the Big Island, can receive snow during the winter months. However, the amount of snowfall varies from year to year and is typically light compared to snowfall in more northern regions. Snowfall is most common between December and February.

There are a few things that could happen to snow as it lays on the ground. One, kids can make things out of it, such as snowmen or snowballs; two, people step on it because there is almost no way to avoid it; three, it will melt if it is hot enough.

1. B-15 - The largest iceberg recorded, measuring around 11,000 square kilometers.
2. A-68 - Another massive iceberg that split from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2017.
3. C-19 - A large iceberg that broke off the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
4. A-74 - A massive iceberg that calved from the Brunt Ice Shelf in 2021.
5. C-16 - An iceberg that broke off the Pine Island Glacier Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
6. D-16 - A large iceberg that calved from the Amery Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
7. B-22 - An iceberg that broke off the Larsen Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
8. A-45 - A large iceberg that calved from the Amery Ice Shelf.
9. C-18 - An iceberg that broke off the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
10. A-22 - An iceberg that split from the Larsen Ice Shelf.

During the 2011-2012 winter season, Pennsylvania received above-average snowfall, with some areas experiencing anywhere from 30 to 60 inches of snow accumulation throughout the season. Snowfall amounts can vary widely across the state due to regional weather patterns and topography.

The melting point of moissanite is around 2800 degrees Celsius.

In liquid water, the molecules are able to move more freely and can shift position, disrupting the formation of stable hydrogen bonds. In contrast, in ice, the water molecules are more rigidly held in a lattice structure, allowing for more stable and organized hydrogen bonding. This leads to the higher stability of hydrogen bonds in ice compared to liquid water.

Some species affected by melting ice caps include polar bears, arctic foxes, and various seal species that rely on sea ice for hunting and breeding. These animals are facing habitat loss, reduced food availability, and increased competition from other species moving into their traditional territories.

A snow pillow is not an actual pillow but a type of snow measurement device used in hydrology. It consists of a rubber bladder filled with anti-freeze fluid that rests on the ground beneath the snow. The weight of the snow on top compresses the bladder, allowing scientists to measure changes in pressure to estimate snow water equivalent.

Yes ! 1000 inches is over 83 feet ! (or 25.6 metres) - that would be enough to bury most towns under a thick blanket of snow !

Yes, blizzards are rare in Kentucky due to its relatively mild winters compared to northern states. However, it is not impossible for a blizzard to occur in Kentucky, especially during periods of intense cold air and heavy snowfall.

I recommend checking the weather forecast for Bromley to get the most accurate and up-to-date information on when it is forecasted to snow in that area. Snowfall can be unpredictable and can vary depending on changing weather patterns.

Yes, it does snow in Campo. I worked there from 1968 to 1972 and from 1974 to 1978. During those years it snowed at least a half dozen times although I can't recall the specific years. I remember one week when there was ice on the blacktop for several days in a row--it was so cold that it didn't melt even though the sun was out each day. Campo had very extreme weather. There were days when there would be frost on the ground in the morning but the temperature would rise to over 90 degrees F. during the afternoon. mikeasr
