does it have to be 0 degrees snow UNANSWERABLE how is snow formed ? It consists of frozen crystalline water throughout its life cycle, starting when, under suitable conditions, the ice crystals form in the atmosphere, increase to millimeter size, precipitate and accumulate on surfaces, then metamorphose in place, and ultimately melt, slide or sublimate away. how is it measured ? Among the measurements of the properties of snowpacks that the "International Classification for Seasonal Snow on the Ground" includes are: snow height, snow water equivalent, snow strength, and extent of snow cover. is it found outside earth ? Extraterrestrial "snow" includes water-based precipitation, but also precipitation of other compounds prevalent on other planets and moons in the Solar System how is it used in sports ? Common examples include cross-country skiing, Alpine skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling. how does it effect agriculture ? It can be beneficial to agriculture by serving as a thermal insulator, conserving the heat of the Earth and protecting crops from subfreezing weather.

Snow [SEP] Utility lines
In areas with trees, utility distribution lines on poles are less susceptible to snow loads than they are subject to damage from trees falling on them, felled by heavy, wet snow. Elsewhere, snow can accrete on power lines as "sleeves" of rime ice. Engineers design for such loads, which are measured in kg/m (lb/ft) and power companies have forecasting systems that anticipate types of weather that may cause such accretions. Rime ice may be removed manually or by creating a sufficient short circuit in the affected segment of power lines to melt the accretions.
