Answer» Answer: Winter storms BEGIN with moist air rising up into the atmosphere, just like other types of storms. Rising air is common at a COLD front, where warm air is lifted above cold air and is necessary for cloud formation and precipitation. Rising air can also happen as air moves up a large HILL or mountain. A source of moisture, such as air blowing across a large lake or ocean, is necessary for clouds and precipitation to form. The final ingredient, and the one that makes a winter storm different from other storms, is cold air. Below freezing air temperatures near the ground and up to the clouds will cause precipitation to fall as either snow or ice. HOWEVER, extremely cold air is not able to hold as much moisture and thus will not make much snow. This explains why some of the coldest places on Earth, like Antarctica, receive very little precipitation throughout the year. |
