Meanwhile, snow refers to that meteorological phenomenon that is characterized by the precipitation on the earth of tiny ice crystals
It is designated with the term of snowed to all that place or thing that appears covered by snow.
The aforementioned crystals, once fallen from the sky, adopt different geometric shapes, being the same preeminently irregular and grouped in flakes.
Snow feels rough to the touch, as its material is granular.
The formation of the same occurs more frequently when water vapor experiences high deposition in the atmosphere at a temperature below 0 °, falling after this climatic situation to earth with the aforementioned appearance.
Meanwhile, this meteorological phenomenon is not common in all regions of the world, but it will depend on the storm in question and the geographical location of the region, such as latitude and elevation.
In those latitudes closer to the Equator there is less chance of snowfall, on the other hand, some mountains that are near the Equator have a permanent snow cover in their highest parts, for example, Mount Kilimanjaro or the Andes in South America.
Incredibly, in many regions of the Arctic and also of the Antarctic, as there is practically no rainfall and despite the intense cold that characterizes these areas, snow is not generated. Another curious case is usually that of New York City, which although it is at the same height as the European cities of Rome and Madrid, the snow turns out to be much more intense than in the latter two.
And just like heavy rainfall, hurricanes, and earthquakes, snowfalls often cause serious complications in the lives of the inhabitants of the snowing city and in the cities themselves, from interrupting communications and services in the affected regions to the deterioration of some infrastructures.
But there is also another side of the coin since the snow leads to fun and entertainment because it is the undisputed star of many winter sports such as the ski, snowboarding, allows you to play on sleds, build snowmen, throw snowballs, among other alternatives.
Among the most common types of snow are: gust, snow, frozen rain, hail, sleet, snow blizzard and snow granules.
