👉 The term "snowfield" is a technical concept in geography and meteorology. It refers to a large area of snow cover that covers an entire mountain range or a specific region of land, typically located near the edge of a mountain range. In the context of climate science, snowfields are often used to describe areas where snow accumulates rapidly due to high temperatures and precipitation. They can also be associated with periods of severe weather events such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, or heavy snowfall.
