People who live where snowfall is common will attest to the fact that air temperatures are generally higher on snowy days than on clear days. Some people get cause and effect mixed up when they say that snowfall cannot occur on very cold days.
To Explain: The reason for having no snow fall on very cold days.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The water gets converted from vapor to solid during snowfall.
The warm air has more capacity of water vapor than the cold air. This is why the warm air can hold more moisture than the cold air. More the moisture in the air, more the chances of snowfall. As the cold air holds very less amount of moisture, this leads to very less snowfall during cold days.
