A “Cold Snap” refers to a sudden and brief period of significantly colder weather, typically characterized by a quick drop in temperature. This phenomenon can occur during winter months and is often accompanied by frost, ice, or snow. Cold snaps can happen due to various meteorological factors, such as the intrusion of cold air masses or changes in atmospheric pressure systems. These events can impact local ecosystems, agriculture, and human activities, creating hazards such as frostbite, hypothermia, and disruptions to transportation.
