Similarly, when we read of a city-farther west being buried in snow it is very natural for us to expect heavy snow here soon. Conditions favoring heavy snowfall are even more restricted htan those responsible ror neav rainfall, for there is temperature limit on snow fall, compared a double abundant with a single one on rainfall.

For a large deposit of snow the temperature cannot, of course, be much above freezing at any level through which the snow falls, neither can the temperature where the snow is forming be so low as to limit the available vapor to small figures. The best conditions for snow, therefore, are found where the temperatures are close to the freezing point in the snow cloud and little, if any, above freezing down below.
