by Jonathan D. Kahl

CONTENTS

The town of Silver Lake, Colorado, once received more than six feet of snow in just one day. Can you imagine snow so deep that it piled up above your head? Do you remember a snowfall or rainstorm that didn't let up for days?

Rain and snow, or precipitation, are important weather events. In fact, without rain and snow, there wouldn't be any life on Earth.

Why do some places receive so much rain and snow while other places have so little? Find out in Wet Weather: Rain Showers and Snowfall.

In this fact-filled weather book, meteorologist Jonathan Kahl tells why water falls from the sky in the form of rain, snow, drizzle, sleet and hail.

You'll learn how clouds form, why we sometimes see rainbows, and how scientists study ran and snow. You'll also find out about climate, weather forecasting, and the importance of wet weather to all living things on Earth.
