We're very dry here. We've had a little snow in the past month, but not enough to measure and there's none on the ground now. Right now it's 14 degrees, so if we had some snow it would be a perfect time to end the discussion.

Question about the temperature of snow [View all] Rorey Jan 2018 OP

Since snow is a solid form of water, which freezes at 32 degrees F, strickly speaking NRaleighLiberal Jan 2018 #1

Once frozen, ice can be any temperature below freezing. longship Jan 2018 #4
