snowy
Any place or thing that appears covered by snow is designated with the term snowy. Meanwhile, snow refers to that meteorological phenomenon that is characterized by the precipitation on the earth of very small ice crystals..
The aforementioned crystals once fallen from the sky adopt different geometric shapes, being the same pre-eminently irregular and grouped in flakes.
To the touch, the snow gives a rough sensation, since its material is granular.
Its formation occurs more frequently when water vapor undergoes high deposition in the atmosphere at a temperature below 0°falling after this climatic situation to the 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 closest to the Equator there are less chances 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 precipitation and even 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, snowfall often cause serious complications in the lives of the inhabitants of the city that snows 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 gives rise to fun and entertainment because it is the undisputed protagonist of many winter sports such as the skiing, snowboardingallows you to play on sleds, build snowmen, throw snowballs at each other, among other alternatives.
Among the most common types of snow are: the flurry, blizzard, freezing rain, hail, sleet, snow blizzard and snow granules.
