message: In the "Types" section "Snizzle is listed as:
Extremely small snow/ice particles that fall lightly, almost like drizzle that is frozen. This kind of snow is very common in Michigan.
Is this real?  Particularly the term, not the frozen drizzle form of precipitation.  Maybe I'm just skeptical when I see "izzle" on the end of a word?
*"Sizzle" isn't a real meteorological term. It's basically a slang term that's sometimes used by weather forecasters though...mostly as a joke. Guy1890 (talk) 05:32, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

message: 50%???? that looks too much,and this is not said in the link
*The density (which is a measure of the amount of liquid water in a snowpack) of an existing snowpack changes over time after it's fallen to the ground. This mostly takes place due to the melting & refreezing process over time and/or sublimation or compaction of the snow. Once a snowpack becomes "ripe", it will tend to melt off faster than snow that is a lot "drier". Guy1890 (talk) 05:37, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Duplicate material 

message: There is a phrase (in UK English) that "it's too cold to snow" which does not appear to make any sense because otherwise how is it that the poles are covered in snow? To give the benefit of the doubt, I expect the phrase relates to noticeable large conglomerations of snowflakes and not to small ice crystals. If that is the case, then could it be "too cold to snow (in an obvious way)"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.111.114.1 (talk) 14:53, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too cold to snow ? 

message: I added this template because the intro could be trimmed. I am bolding the bits below I think should be kept, my opinion is that the rest verge into detail:
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.
Once on the ground, snow can be categorized as powdery when fluffy, granular when it begins the cycle of melting and refreezing, and eventually ice once it packs down, after multiple melting and refreezing cycles, into a dense mass called snow pack. When powdery, snow moves with the wind from the location where it originally landed, forming deposits called snowdrifts which may have a depth of several meters. After attaching to hillsides, blown snow can evolve into a snow slab, which is an avalanche hazard on steep slopes. The existence of a snowpack keeps temperatures colder than they would be otherwise, as the whiteness of the snow reflects most sunlight, and the absorbed heat goes into melting the snow rather than increasing its temperature. The water equivalent of snowfall is measured to monitor how much liquid is available to flood rivers from meltwater which will occur during the upcoming spring. Snow cover can protect crops from extreme cold. If snowfall stays on the ground for a series of years uninterrupted, the snowpack develops into a mass of ice called glacier.  Fresh snow absorbs sound, lowering ambient noise over a landscape due to the trapped air between snowflakes acting to minimize vibration. These acoustic qualities quickly minimize, and reverse once a layer of freezing rain falls on top of snow cover. Walking across snowfall produces a squeaking sound at low temperatures. For motion pictures, the sound of people walking across snow is duplicated through the use cornstarch, salt, and cat litter.
The term snow storm can describe a heavy snowfall while a blizzard involves snow and wind, obscuring visibility. Snow shower is a term for an intermittent snowfall, while flurry is used for very light, brief snowfalls. Snow can fall more than a meter at a time during a single storm in flat areas, and meters at a time in rugged terrain, such as mountains. When snow falls in significant quantities, travel by foot, car, airplane and other means becomes highly restricted, but other methods of mobility become possible: the use of snowmobiles, snowshoes and skis. When heavy snow occurs early in the fall, significant damage occurs to trees still in leaf. Areas with significant snow each year can store the winter snow within an ice house, which can be used to cool structures during the following summer. A variation on snow has been observed on Venus, though composed of metallic compounds and occurring at a substantially higher temperature.

message: I just saw something hilarious on The Weather Channel while waiting for a forecast.  In a show about Ouray, they said that storms coming from the Pacific dump their water on the coastal ranges then dry out over the desert, so after losing their moisture they dump "dry snow" on Ouray.  ;)  I think somebody was just pulling my leg, but I should just ask, just in case there's a way to make sense out of a statement like that...

message: The section equivalents on other planets clearly needs to cover CO2 precipitation on Mars - for which there is extensive literature including MOLA observations of falling snow in the polar night . Pluto also has an atmosphere that condenses during its long orbit. In both cases, it is the main ingredient of the atmosphere condensing, not an included component. Mars also displays condensation of water ice as frosts. It is not clear if water ice snow(flakes) ever form on Mars.

message: Can someone change the number of water molecules per snowflake from 10^18 to 10^19 in the snowflake section? 
It is incorrectly cited from http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070213-snowflake_2.html
I already changed it in the snowflake article. Moreover 10^19 seems far more realistic to me, as it corresponds to 0.3µl (instead of 30nl for 10^18).

message: In "Snow blindness" section, please change "However, when there is also cloud cover because snow is falling, light" to "However, when there is also cloud cover, light". There does not have to be snow actually falling in order to create the light-reflection effect this sentence describes.
In "Effects on human society" section, please change "This allowed the ice to be used in summer for refrigeration or medical uses, which is one method of conserving electrical usage" to "This allows the snow to be used through the summer for refrigeration and air conditioning, which requires far less electricity than traditional cooling methods." This is more accurate according to the source article.
In "Agriculture" section, please add, "Snow also acts as a "poor man's fertilizer," because it contains nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plants, which it transfers to the soil." Reference source here: http://www.adn.com/2008/10/08/550298/blanket-of-snow-is-a-poor-mans.html

message: In areas with abundant snowfall, such as Northern Japan, people harvest snow and store it surrounded by insulation in ice houses. This allows the snow to be used through the summer for refrigeration and air conditioning, which requires far less electricity than traditional cooling methods.[81]
This paragraph is misleading at best. Snow harvesting is limited to one project in Funagata, Yamagata Prefecture - as noted in the footnote above. The wording of the article makes it seem like a widespread cultural practice, with individuals harvesting snow for personal use, when in fact it's a single operation maintained by city officials. 
Further, Yamagata prefecture is not "Northern Japan", and it certainly isn't in Hokkaido, where the "Northern Japan" hypertext takes the reader.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.46.30.76 (talk) 01:18, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have corrected the article per source and your comment. I vaguely recall seeing on TV similar practice in Hokkaido (snow is collected from nearby areas and piled up).

Countries that don't have yearly snow but bordering snow countries/regions: UK (not even Scotland), Denmark (mainland), South Africa, Australia.
Countries that might have yearly snow, find out: Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, Falkland Islands(UK), North Korea, South Korea, Kasakstan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine. 
A huge number of other countries have snow on a few mountaintops or ski villages (i.e. Kenya and Germany), but as a whole it's not typical for the country.

message: The article says "Although the ice is clear, scattering of light by the crystal facets and hollows/imperfections mean that the crystals often appear white in color due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small ice particles.[15]" I disagree, or at least think this should be clarified: While snow is a pretty good diffuse reflector as a bulk material, each snowflake looks white not because of diffuse reflection but because of a combination of specular reflection, refraction, and total internal reflection. In bulk this averages out to diffuse reflection, but it is a leap to say that ice is clear but facets and imperfections make them white due to diffuse reflection. Let's clean that up. —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 13:30, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

message: So in the records section, all of the records are described using centimeters and then inches in parentheses. 
Example: The world record for the highest average yearly snowfall is 1,764 cm (694 in).
Because we are describing such large amount of snow here, and most people cannot divide large numbers by 12 in their head, I propose we change where it says the total inches to total feet with inches remaining. 
Example: The world record for the highest average yearly snowfall is 1,764 cm (57 ft 10 in).
I mean to me it puts it a little more into perspective. When I first read the section I had to pull my phone out to do the math myself. It doesn't make any sense to leave it like that when most people would want to know how many feet it is, not just the total number of inches.Zdawg1029 (talk) 02:31, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Under "Measurement and classification", in the table headed "Frozen precipitation particles, related to snow crystals", please remove superfluous manual line breaks in the table text. Half of the lines are too long (though this may not be evident on a wider screen than my 1280px monitor) and half are too short, and it looks terrible. 80.41.133.154 (talk) 00:53, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

message: User:InedibleHulk, thank you for your improvements to this article.
In the scientific community of snow experts, "metamorphosis" is the term of art that encompasses a wide range of processes, including thawing, freezing, sintering, sublimating, compaction, drifting, described both at the crystal level and the snowpack level. These processes don't necessarily occur in a set order. While I appreciate that you were trying to avoid MOS:JARGON, I suggest that "change" is just too pedestrian a word to properly evoke what is described.
In another section, you suggested "Effects on non-human life", which seemed stilted to me, so I suggested "Effects on plants and animals", which you suggested might be deficient. How about "Effects on organisms" with the lead sentence saying, "Plants, animals and other organisms endemic to snowbound...."? 
Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk) 18:46, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm much happier with "metamorphism" than "metamorphosis". It's plenty sophisticated, but also plain accurate. The rest is no big deal to me, thanks for the advice! InedibleHulk (talk) 07:05, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

message: The image caption does not match the map's original legend at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Countries_receiving_snowfall.png#/media/File:Countries_receiving_snowfall.png
Especially the inclusion of the word "annually" which is never claimed by the mapmaker and is in many instances untrue. Andre Kotez (talk) 17:20, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
