SNOW

HOW SNOWFLAKES FORM

• Snowflakes form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets freeze
• The droplet will stay frozen if it is below 0
• There must be moisture in the air to form a ice crystal
• Then ton of tiny ice crystals come together
• They form a snowflake

HOW COLD DOES IT HAVE TO BE TO SNOW?

• It does not have to be below 0 to snow
• In America the heaviest snow fall between 0 and 2 degrees
• Snow melts if the degrees rises over 32 degrees

FORMATION

• Snow forms when the could is below 32
• Then tiny ice crystals stick until they form a snowflake
• Next the crystals keep adding up
• Then when the snowflake is heavy enough,it falls

SNOWING

• You do not no if it will snow if snow falls from the cloud, it might rain
• Snow might melt as it travels in warm air
• If it gets over 32 degrees when the snowflake is falling it might rain
