What is Snow?
According to the National Snow & Ice Data Center, "snow is precipitation in the form of ice crystals." When temperatures in the clouds are below freezing, when water vapor in the atmosphere changes into ice and skips the liquid state. The ice crystal then freezes water vapor from the air around it and becomes a snow crystal or snow pellet, and it falls to the earth.
For it to snow, there must be low temperatures and moisture in the atmosphere. In deserts, for example, temperatures drop in the winter, but it is dry, and therefore won't snow, while in places like Florida, there is a lot of moisture, but temperatures are not low enough. New England is just one of many places that has moisture and low temperatures and sees large amounts of snow each year, and in 2015, New England saw various instances of record-breaking snow.
