Snow: A Complete Guide

What Does Snow Mean?

A snowy forecast means frozen precipitation falling from the sky, creating a winter wonderland. Snow can range from light flurries to heavy blizzards, covering the ground in a soft, white layer and making for magical landscapes.

Best Activities for Snowy Days

Snow transforms the world into a cold-weather playground, making it perfect for:

• Skiing or snowboarding – Fresh powder makes for epic slopes and smooth rides.

• Building a snowman – Classic winter fun for all ages.

• Sledding – Grab a sled and find a hill for an adrenaline-packed ride.

• Snow photography – The soft lighting and white landscapes create stunning winter shots.

• Cozying up indoors – Snowy weather is ideal for hot cocoa, a good book, and a warm blanket.

Types of Snow

• Flurries: Light, brief snowfall with little to no accumulation.

• Snow Showers: On-and-off snowfall that varies in intensity.

• Steady Snow: Continuous snowfall that gradually covers the ground.

• Heavy Snow: Fast-falling, thick snow that quickly piles up.

• Blizzards: Intense snowstorms with strong winds and low visibility.

Snow vs. Sleet vs. Freezing Rain

• Snow: Falls as frozen flakes and stays that way.

• Sleet: Ice pellets that form when snow partially melts and refreezes.

• Freezing Rain: Rain that freezes on contact, creating a layer of ice.
