Concept in Definition ABC

It is designated with the term of snowed to all that place or thing that appears covered by snow.
Meanwhile, snow refers to that meteorological phenomenon that is characterized by the precipitation on the land of tiny ice crystals.

The aforementioned crystals, once fallen from the sky, adopt different geometric shapes, being the same preeminently irregular and grouped in flakes.
To the touch, the snow gives sensation roughness, since its material is granular.

The formation of the same occurs more frequently when water vapor experiences high deposition in the atmosphere at a temperature less than 0 °, falling after this climatic situation to earth with the appearance mentioned.

Meanwhile, this meteorological phenomenon is not common in all regions of the world, but it will depend on the storm in question and the location geographical area of ​​the region, such as the latitude and elevation.
In those latitudes closer to the Equator there are less chances of snowfall, on the other hand, some mountains that are close of Ecuador present a permanent cover of snow in its 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 rainfall and 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 than the European cities of Rome and Madrid, the snow turns out to be much more intense than in these two last.

And just like heavy rainfall, hurricanes, and earthquakes, snowfalls often cause serious complications in the lives of the inhabitants of the snowing city and in the cities themselves, from interrupting communications and services in the affected regions until the deterioration of some infrastructures.

But there is also another side of the coin since the snow leads to fun and entertainment because it is the undisputed protagonist of many sports of wintersuch as the ski, snowboarding, allows you to play on sleds, build snowmen, throw snowballs, among other alternatives.

Among the most common types of snow, the following stand out: gust, snow, rain frozen, hail, sleet, snow blizzard and snow pellets.
