Why do we get more snow at the end of winter (march) than at the beginning of it (december)?

Answer 1

One reason that areas still recieve snow later in the winter season, like February and March for example, is because the days get warmer, but the night are still below freezing. You have a mix of warm and cold temperatures in the atmosphere, and if a low forms in the right spot and the right time, which they tend to do, it will become more intense during the day with the warmer temperatures, allowing it to drag in the much colder temperatures behind it's cold front. After the front passes and you're in the colder air, all you need is a rain shower to pass through and bam....snow.

Answer 2

A weather person told me this years ago;

When having snow, it all depends on the outside air temperature. The sky could be filled with snow clouds, but the temperature is what starts the snowing.

Sometimes, it will be too cold to snow; when the temperature rises a little, here comes the snow.

Answer 3

One never knows, even meteorologists, what kind of winter we are going to have. Have you heard that old saying about March--In like a lamb, out like a lion? We wouldn't have that old myth about the ground hog if we really knew. I guess your question is really rhetorical.

Answer 4

If you live in New York City, I wonder the same question. I live in Brooklyn.

Answer 5

It is because you have been bad and Santa Claus does not want you to have a white Christmas.
