Unfortunately, it should be noted that at this stage, there is still no guarantee that they will reach us in this form: everything will depend on the temperature of the air layers they have yet to cross…

They will then settle in successive layers on the ground, ultimately offering us a divine snowy blanket!
(It should be noted that the colder it is, the more likely we are to find dry snow. Conversely, temperatures closer to 0°C favor the appearance of wet or even slushy snow.)
But if unfortunately, the snowflakes are exposed to warm temperatures (I mean temperatures significantly above 0°C), it’s a disaster: they melt!We then get ordinary raindrops…
Even though there is no longer any hope for the snow to return at this stage, we still don’t know what will happen to the droplets that result from it, as they now have to pass through the remaining air layers before reaching us…
Of course, if they only pass through warm layers, the question doesn’t even arise: they will remain liquid until they reach the ground, and we will have to deal with regular rain…
