Snow is a type of precipitation within the Earth's atmosphere in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes that fall from clouds. Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless packed by external pressure. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Types which fall in the form of a ball due to melting and refreezing, rather than a flake, are known as graupel, with ice pellets and snow grains as examples of graupel. Snowfall amount and its related liquid equivalent precipitation amount are determined using a variety of different rain gauges. The process of precipitating snow is called snowfall. Snowfall tends to form within regions of upward motion of air around a type of low-pressure system known as an extratropical cyclone. Snow can fall poleward of their associated warm fronts and within their comma head precipitation patterns, which is called such due to its comma-like shape of the cloud and precipitation pattern around the poleward and west sides of extratropical cyclones. Where relatively warm water bodies are present, for example due to water evaporation from lakes, lake-effect snowfall becomes a concern downwind of the warm lakes within the cold cyclonic flow around the backside of extratropical cyclones. Lake-effect snowfall can be locally heavy. Thundersnow is possible within a cyclone's comma head and within lake effect precipitation bands. In mountainous areas, heavy snow is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation, if the atmosphere is cold enough.

I am planning a visit in late November and want more than anything to see snow! Does it snow in late november and how much snow should I expect? Asked by missnoetic - Thu Aug 9 17:35:12 2007 - - 15 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have definitely seen a lot of snow before in late November, but I've also seen it be sunny and warm then too. Chicago weather is completely unpredictable. Answered by bhem9803 - Fri Aug 10 01:19:26 2007 Now that the snow is melting, my lawn looks like it has mold on. What can I do to get rid of it?
Q. Now that the snow has finally started to melt you can see gray fuzzy patches on my lawn. The area where it is, is not normally wet and it does get about 6 hours of sunlight a day. Will it go away on it's own, or do I need to do something to get rid of it?The lawn is only about a year old. Last year we did to much work on it to just let it die. I live in Northern Vermont if that is important. Asked by applecrisp - Fri Mar 30 12:35:13 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. It sounds like it could be gray snow mold (Typhula blight). Snow mold will appear as the snow melts off your lawn. They are more prevalent on lawns that use excessive amounts of nitrogen fertilizers in fall (especially a fast release fertilizer), excessive shade, excess thatch build-up and debris on the lawn (leaves, straw, etc.). Snow mold will stop spreading when the lawn dries out and as temperatures increase (it is a cool season fungus). They may occur again next season unless you correct the cultural problems that have been listed above, especially the use of fast release nitrogen in fall. Next fall, reduce the amount of nitrogen you apply, lower your mowing height and clean up any debris on the lawn. Good luck.
