Cold weather refers to conditions where the temperature drops significantly, often below 50°F (10°C). This type of weather can occur during the winter months in many regions, leading to frost, snow, and ice. Cold weather can affect daily activities, requiring people to dress warmly and take precautions to stay safe. In cold weather, snow can accumulate on the ground, creating a winter landscape. Ice may form on roads and sidewalks, making travel hazardous. Additionally, cold temperatures can impact plants and animals, as many species enter a state of dormancy or migrate to warmer areas to survive.
