Images below from a European Space Agency satellite captured the snow melt. While the Southern California snowpacks have caused relatively little flooding as they melt, the snow in the Sierra may ...
Graupel (/ ˈ ɡ r aʊ p əl /; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩] ⓘ), also called soft hail or snow pellets, [1] is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets in air are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of crisp, opaque rime.
In 2023, a white Christmas remained a dream for many, with snow absent from the December holiday for all but a few areas in the Northeast, across the West, and part of the northern Plains.

Snow hydrology is a scientific study in the field of hydrology which focuses on the composition, dispersion, and movement of snow and ice. Studies of snow hydrology predate the Anno Domini era, although major breakthroughs were not made until the mid eighteenth century.
Freezing rain develops when falling snow encounters a layer of warm air aloft, typically around the 800 mbar (800 hPa; 80 kPa) level, causing the snow to melt and become rain. As the rain continues to fall, it passes through a layer of subfreezing air just above the surface and cools to a temperature below freezing (0 °C or 32 °F or 273 K).
Over 600 inches (50 feet) of snow has fallen on the slopes of Bear Valley Resort since late 2022, more than double the 300 inches that typically fall at the resort in an entire season.
The snow does not melt slower gradually with distance from the trunk, but rather creates a wall surrounding snow-free ground around it. According to some of sources, North American spring ephermal plants like spring beauty ( Claytonia caroliniana ), trout lily ( Erythronium americanum ) and red trillium ( Trillium erectum L.) benefit from such ...
