Las Vegas landed the top spot for the most fun city in America, with very high rankings in both entertainment and nightlife.

As snow accumulates into a snowpack, it may blow into drifts. Over time, accumulated snow metamorphoses, by sintering, sublimation and freeze-thaw. Where the climate is cold enough for year-to-year accumulation, a glacier may form.

The answer to question asked is No, the weight of the snow and the weight of its melted equivalent is about the same, less what evaporates or runs into the gutters. But snow does get heavier when it is rained upon. A layer of snow will soak up rain like a sponge, becoming denser and heavier as a result.

Heavy snow can immobilize a region and paralyze a city, stranding commuters, closing airports, stopping the flow of supplies, and disrupting emergency and medical services. Accumulations of snow can cause roofs to collapse and knock down trees and power lines.

Snow Melt Can Flood Your Home Sometimes the worst snow damage occurs when the temperature rises. Snow melt can leak through tiny cracks in your foundation, damaging your walls and flooding your basement. This problem can get worse over time, as repeated cycles of melting and refreezing add cracks to your foundation.
