Here's a little science for you! How cold does it have to be to snow? Well, snow is one form of frozen rain. Hail is frosen rain too. Clouds are water vapor in the sky. When it is cold enough and there is enough water vapor, the water vapor turns into water drops. When there are enough water drops, it rains. Hail is water that freezes as it's falling. Hailstones can increase in size as more water sticks to them and freezes. Snow is the the water vapor that freezes in the clouds before it falls.Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. So if it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or colder inside the clouds, it will snow. Air does not hold water very well when the temperature is less than 15 degrees Fahrenheit. So for snow to fall and stay on the ground, the temperature has to be between 15 and the 30s degrees Fahrenheit. Snow might stay on the ground if the temperature is in the low 40s. Will we have snow on Christmas?
