Snowfall

Snowfall refers to the process of snow falling from the atmosphere to the ground. It occurs when atmospheric conditions are cold enough for water vapor to condense and freeze into ice crystals, which then accumulate and descend. Snowfall can vary in intensity and duration, leading to different types of snow accumulation, from light flurries to heavy blizzards. It is a key component of winter weather and plays a significant role in ecosystems, water supply, and recreational activities such as skiing and snowboarding.
