At what temperature (degrees F or C) does snow fall?

Answer 1

The temperature must be freezing (below 32°F or 0°C) for snow to form. However, air temperature varies at different altitudes. Sometimes snow forms in a cold layer of air and then falls through warmer air before reaching the ground. Because of this, snow can be falling when the temperature at the ground is above 32°F/0°C, but the snow will not last very long since the temperature is above freezing.

Answer 2

Around 0 degree C /32 degrees F

Answer 3

These people are all wrong. It's not the temperature on the ground that matters, it's the height of the freezing level. Generally speaking, if the freezing level is 800 feet or lower you'll get snow falling. If it's between 800 and 1200 feet you'll get mixed rain and snow. Above 1200 feet you'll get rain.

Answer 4

snow should fall at 32 degrees farenhiet but it has been seen to fall anywhere between 32-35 degrees and lower of course although not too low because snow will cease to fall if the temperature drops below -15 degrees because of the airs lack of moisture.

Answer 5

I believe that snow (like real snow that actually prevents you to going to school :) ) falls at around 30 degrees Farenheit, otherwise known as freezing.

Answer 6

32

Answer 7

it depends. if your at the mountain it can be like 38-40 and still be snowing.

Answer 8

I've seen it snow (in Billings, MT) at 45F. Snow didn't stick but it fell.

Answer 9

water freezes at 32F and 0C. and snow is frozen/crystalized water so 32F and 0C.
