Adjective Words to Describe Snow and Winter

Snow is a collection of saturated ice crystals, and the shape of the snow determines a variety of characteristics, such as color, temperature, and water balance. As the weather changes, the snow bag can change too, and this affects the features of the snow.

Can we also know the color of Snow – Usually, snow and ice make us look white in the same way. This is because the visible light is white. All the light that seems to be hitting the snow or snow is visible in the background without choosing a particular color. Many natural phenomena absorb sunlight, giving them color. Pure snow, however, reflects most of the sunlight, creating a white look.

Winter is one of the four seasons of the winter solstice. The days are short and the nights are long. Winter comes after autumn and before spring.
