ajohtumis

Ajohtumis, also known as "snowfall" in English, is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by the precipitation of ice crystals in the form of snowflakes. It occurs when the atmospheric temperature is below the freezing point of water (0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit). Snowfall can vary in intensity, from light flurries to heavy blizzards, and it is a significant component of the global water cycle.

The process of ajohtumis begins with the formation of ice crystals in clouds. These crystals grow as they collide with supercooled water droplets, a process known as aggregation. Once the ice crystals become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as snow. The type of snowfall can vary based on temperature and humidity, resulting in different snowflake shapes and sizes.

Snowfall has a profound impact on various aspects of life, including transportation, agriculture, and recreation. It can disrupt travel, close schools, and affect daily routines. However, it also provides opportunities for winter sports and contributes to the water supply through snowmelt in the spring. The study of ajohtumis, known as snow science or cryology, involves understanding the formation, properties, and effects of snow and ice.
