Heavy snowfall occurs when a significant amount of snow falls in a short period, often resulting in thick layers of snow covering the ground. This weather phenomenon can lead to reduced visibility, making travel difficult and sometimes dangerous. Areas that experience heavy snowfall may see snow accumulation of several inches to feet, depending on the storm's intensity. During heavy snowfall, temperatures are typically low, which helps the snow to remain on the ground. This can create beautiful winter landscapes but also poses challenges for road maintenance and emergency services. Communities often prepare for heavy snowfall by ensuring that snowplows and salt trucks are ready to clear roads and keep them safe for travel.
