Most precipitation that reaches the ground actually begins as snow high in the atmosphere. These snow flakes develop somewhere above the freezing level where the air temperature is less than 32 F and begin to fall toward the earth as snow. If ground temperature is above 32 F( the freezing level must be located somewhere above the ground). The falling snow passes through the freezing level into the warmer air, where it melts and changes to rain before reaching the ground.

Temperature below freezing means snow?
Snow does occur when temperature is below freezing because snow is just frozen rain . Lets say it rains , and the temperature is below freezing , that rain would become snow . So temperature below freezing means having snow is true .
What determines whether precipitation falls a rain or snow?
The temperature of the air near the ground is the main factor in determining whether precipitation falls as rain or snow. If the temperature is above freezing, the precipitation will fall as rain. If the temperature is below freezing, the precipitation will fall as snow.
Is it possible to see rain or snow if the temperature is 14 degrees celsius?
At 14oC - there would be rain. It would be too warm for snow.

Is snow rain?
No, snow and rain are two different forms of precipitation. Snow falls as frozen ice crystals, while rain falls as liquid water droplets. Snow forms when the temperature is cold enough for water vapor to freeze before it reaches the ground, whereas rain forms when water droplets combine and fall from clouds.
Does it rain or snow in Aruba?
no it does not snow and does not rain often
What temp does it have to be for snow to turn to rain?
Snow can turn into rain when the temperature rises above 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), causing the snow to melt and transition into liquid form. This temperature range is known as the melting point of snow.
Can snow turn into rain?
Yes, snow can turn into rain if the temperature rises above freezing after the snowfall. The snow will melt and turn into rain as it reaches temperatures above 32°F (0°C).
What are the five factors affecting weather?
temperature, wind, rain , clouds,snow
Why does rainfall occur in India during winter?
Rain occurs when water is evaporated in the sky and the clouds can not contain anymore water. When it is below freezing temperature it is snow, but when it is above freezing temperature it is rain. In India it is hot in winter and summer. So it will rain instead of snow.
