Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Snow. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
I don't support inclusion of this image, because it doesn't support a facet of the article in a manner not provided by existing images. Also, it is quite dark. Sincerely, HopsonRoad (talk) 15:53, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
@HopsonRoad: Thank you for your detailed reply. You raise some good points about the existing infobox image and the proposed. There haven't been any other responses so far, but for now, let's leave the current image as it is. —Bruce1eetalk13:36, 8 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
Under "Measurement and classification", in the table headed "Frozen precipitation particles, related to snow crystals", please remove superfluous manual line breaks in the table text. Half of the lines are too long (though this may not be evident on a wider screen than my 1280px monitor) and half are too short, and it looks terrible. 80.41.133.154 (talk) 00:53, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
In the scientific community of snow experts, "metamorphosis" is the term of art that encompasses a wide range of processes, including thawing, freezing, sintering, sublimating, compaction, drifting, described both at the crystal level and the snowpack level. These processes don't necessarily occur in a set order. While I appreciate that you were trying to avoid MOS:JARGON, I suggest that "change" is just too pedestrian a word to properly evoke what is described.
In another section, you suggested "Effects on non-human life", which seemed stilted to me, so I suggested "Effects on plants and animals", which you suggested might be deficient. How about "Effects on organisms" with the lead sentence saying, "Plants, animals and other organisms endemic to snowbound...."?
I'm much happier with "metamorphism" than "metamorphosis". It's plenty sophisticated, but also plain accurate. The rest is no big deal to me, thanks for the advice! InedibleHulk (talk) 07:05, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Clouds taken by wind to higher latitude when falls makes snow due to cold atmospheric temperature...it balances when the south iceberg melts during different opposite seasons... 103.224.95.48 (talk) 11:36, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Done It was acceptable usage, before. Perhaps the past tense is better for the discoveries. So, I put past tense in all the bulleted discoveries. HopsonRoad (talk) 13:41, 7 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

It has been a while since this was last reviewed, so I took a look and noticed lots of uncited statements, including entire sections. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 23:42, 27 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your query, Z1720. I see some introductory paragraphs that summarize the section that they introduce. These don't need citations, because of what follows. Elsewhere, citations cover the content of multiple sentences. If you see an important incited statement, it would be useful to tag it so that I can find the appropriate citation. HopsonRoad (talk) 01:22, 28 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
@HopsonRoad: I have added citation needed tags to the article. In most cases, introduction statements in each statement are not necessary, as the headings serve as an introduction. Z1720 (talk) 02:05, 28 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
I placed citations, where requested. They were mostly in summary paragraphs where the citation was already in the text, below. I added one useful citation on average annual snowfall where the citation was in Japanese. HopsonRoad (talk) 23:48, 25 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
