So, what causes snow?  \nSnow starts the same way that rainstorms start. A large mass of warm air and a large mass of cold air come together high above the Earth. Sometimes the warm air is stronger, and it pushes the cold air up. Then we have warmer weather on the ground. Other times the cold air is stronger and it pushes the warm air up. Then we have colder weather on the ground. When that happens, the clouds in the warm air get colder and colder as they are pushed higher and higher. This causes something very interesting to happen.  \nClouds form when warm air rises into the sky and cools down. As the air cools, the water vapor in the air turns into tiny drops of water. These drops are so small that we cannot see them one by one, but together they form a cloud. When enough drops join together and grow larger, they become heavy enough to fall to the ground as rain.  \nSometimes the air is very cold. When this happens, the water vapor turns into tiny pieces of ice instead of water drops. These ice crystals join together to form snowflakes. When the snowflakes become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as snow.  \nIf the air under the snow cloud is cold enough, the snowflakes fall all the way to the ground. If the air is both cold and dry, the snowflakes fall as small powdery flakes that don’t stick together. If the air is cold and damp, the snowflakes begin to melt around the edges and stick together as they fall. These snowflakes fall to the ground as large flakes that stick together easily and are ideal for making a snowman!  \n1.
