During the formation of sleet, the environmental temperature of shallow warm layer is half the temperature of the deep cold layer. The temperature of the layer when the snowflake begins it journey is twice the environmental temperature of the deep cold layer, what is the temperature that the snow encounters in the shallow warm layer if the temperature of the layer where the snow is formed is - 10oC?

Answer:
Sleet Forms in Layers of Air (Warm above Cold)
During precipitation formation, if temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), at cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals, and the crystals stick together to make snow.

Answer:
Sleet Develops in Air Layers (Warm above Cold)
- At cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals when temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), and the crystals bind together to produce snow.
- If the air column is extremely cold from the clouds to the ground as snow begins to fall, the precipitation will remain frozen. It only precipitates as snow.
- However, temperature inversions do happen sometimes. Typically, the temperature drops as the altitude rise.
- When a layer of warm air appears between the ground and the clouds, it is known as a temperature inversion.
