Discover surprising facts behind winter's fascinating phenomenon, including how some cities you'd never expect have seen snow and why snow can sometimes appear blue or pink. Large stretches of the u.s Await one of the season’s first blasts of wintry weather as temperatures dropped in the northern plains and snowstorms developed across the great lakes. Temperatures 10 to 20 degrees below normal are expected to reach as deep as the south, forecasters said Snow is likely in the great lakes, parts of the northeast and the appalachians. Tracking the season’s first snow and sunday’s cold blast most areas will see little accumulation, but slick spots could form as temperatures fall below freezing.

Snow is more than a winter spectacle It’s a fascinating natural phenomenon with important roles in the environment This article breaks down how snow forms, its types, and why it matters, all in a way that is easy to understand. Snow forms when the atmospheric temperature is at or below freezing (0°c or 32°f)
However, the snow can still reach the ground when the ground temperature is above freezing if the conditions are just right. Snowfall patterns are shifting as the climate warms, with many regions already seeing declines These shifts impact water supply, ecosystems, winter recreation and hydropower generation
