Is it possible for it to be too cold to snow? Explain your answer
Although many believe the expression "it's too cold to snow" is true, it is actually never too cold to snow. No matter how cold the air becomes, it always contains some water vapor that could produce snow. We usually associate extremely cold air with "no snow" because the coldest winter weather occurs on clear, calm nights - conditions that normally prevail with strong high pressure areas that have few, if any, clouds.
