The answer is yes. And no. I'll explain.

It can never snow when it is above freezing in the clouds where the snowflakes form. In fact, it must be many degrees below freezing for the proper conditions to exist for crystalline growth to occur as moisture condenses and freezes around atmospheric particles, such as dust.

And, generally speaking, it must be below freezing all the way from the cloud to the ground for the snowflakes to be preserved. Snow will melt into rain if it passes through above freezing layers of the atmosphere for more than several seconds.

But here is the loophole.

If the only layer of the atmosphere that is above freezing is very thin and close to the ground, snow may not have time to entirely melt before hitting the ground.

So that is how sometimes you can see snow, even heavy snow, when temperatures are as high as the upper 30s, or even into the low 40s in certain conditions.

Usually, when it starts snowing above freezing, either the falling snow will cause the temperature to fall to near or below freezing, or warmer air aloft will become dominant and change the snow to rain. But there have been some large accumulations with temperatures hovering at 33 or 34 degrees and snow falling faster than it can melt.

Sorry if that didn't settle the question clearly for one side or the other.

It can snow but wet snow it evaporates once it gets to the ground, but for some reason it also may stick because probably a snow storm occurs a temperature 34 degrees it sticks on the ground because the snow is coming down faster than it can melt on the ground at least 32 degrees to snow.

It can snow at 34 simply because it may be above freezing only near the surface, and the snowflake doesn't have enough time to melt before it reaches the ground. In fact, this is fairly common.

It is basically impossible to rain at 30 degrees. What this comes down to is the temperature of the surface, rather than the air. Liquid rain certainly can fall at 30 degrees, but will then freeze on contact with almost everything. This is called Freezing rain in most places, or glaze in the UK for example. Different surfaces have different thermal properties, allowing some to be more conducive to freezing than others. But in general, if it's 30 degrees and appears to be raining - look out, it's going to be slippery.

Snow forms at high altitudes where the temperature is lower than on the ground. The air temperature must be below 32°F for snow to form, but it may persist and reach the ground even if air temperatures are slightly above freezing, but will then melt.

No.

It has to be less than 32 degrees.

Wrong. It can snow even if its more then 32 F.

It is unlikely for snow to fall when the temperature is above freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Snow typically forms in colder temperatures where the air is at or below freezing.

If it's Fahrenheit, yes. It's unlikely, but yes.

If it's Celsius, then absolutely no.

If it's Kelvin, we have bigger problems :)

If you mean Celsius, it usually only snows at 0 degrees Celsius (rare) and lower. The answer for Celsius is no.

If you mean Fahrenheit, then yes it could snow.

Yes it can snow because that's below freezing levels and its cold enough

Can there still be snow after the temperatures reached mid 80s?

When it is 80 degrees outside there will be no snow. In order for it to snow and stay around is for temperatures to be below freezing.


How does rain turn to snow?

Snow is made by rain in clouds falling and freezing in the air into little flakes and this is snow. But it has to be about 32 degrees outside for snow to form. you can also make snow by boiling a glass of water in the microave and trowing it up outside but it has to be 10 F or lower out side.

What is the supplement of a 37 degree angle?

Supplementary angles are pairs of angles whose sum equals 180 degrees. Therefore: 37 degrees + x degrees = 180 degrees. 180 degrees - 37 degrees = x degrees = 143 degrees. The supplement of a 37 degree angle is a 143 degree angle.
