*FROST*
(“frost” is the ‘solid deposition’ of ‘water vapor’ from ‘saturated air’ (when ‘solid surfaces’ are ‘cooled’ to below the ‘dew point’ of the ‘adjacent air’ (as well as below the ‘freezing point’ of ‘water’)
.
.
.
(“snow” is ‘precipitation’ in the form of ‘flakes’ of ‘crystalline water ice’ that falls from ‘clouds’)
(since ‘snow’ is composed of ‘small ice particles’, it is a ‘granular material’)
(it has an ‘open’ and therefore (‘soft’ / ‘white’ / ‘fluffy’) structure, unless subjected to ‘external pressure’)
(‘snowflakes’ come in a variety of ‘sizes’ + ‘shapes’)
(types that fall in the form of a ‘ball’ due to ‘melting’ + ‘refreezing’, rather than a ‘flake’, are ‘hail’, ‘ice pellets’, or ‘snow grains’)
(the process of ‘precipitating snow’ is called snowfall)
(‘snowfall’ tends to form within regions of ‘upward movement’ of air around a type of ‘low-pressure system’ known as an ‘extra-tropical cyclone’)
(snow can fall poleward of these systems’ associated warm fronts and within their comma head precipitation patterns (called such due to the 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 because of water evaporation from lakes, lake-effect snowfall becomes a concern downwind of the warm lakes within the cold cyclonic flow around the backside of ‘extra-tropical cyclones)
(lake-effect snowfall can be heavy locally)
(‘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)
.
(‘snowfall amount’ and its related liquid equivalent precipitation amount are measured using a variety of different ‘rain gauges’)
