Snow pit on the surface of a glacier, profiling snow properties, which become increasingly dense as it metamorphoses towards ice. Snow science addresses how snow forms, its distribution, and processes affecting how snowpacks change over time.

Snow science addresses how snow forms, its distribution, and processes affecting how snowpacks change over time. Scientists improve storm forecasting, study global snow cover and its effect on climate, glaciers, and water supplies around the world.
It is considered unlikely to recover even if the temperature is returned to a lower level, making it an example of a climate tipping point. This would result in rapid cooling, with implications for economic sectors, agriculture industry, water resources and energy management in Western Europe and the East Coast of the United States. [79]
By RYAN GORMAN Scientists now believe that global warming is to blame for extreme cold snaps in North America during the winter months – and that it will only keep happening. The "polar ...
Lake effect snow bands over Central New York Map showing some of the lake-effect snow areas of the United States. Cold winds in the winter typically prevail from the northwest in the Great Lakes region, producing the most dramatic lake-effect snowfalls on the southern and eastern shores of the Great Lakes. This lake effect results in much ...
