From personal experience, walking on snow/ice sounds different based on temperature. From my time of walking to work at 6am in Michigan when I was younger, I could tell the temperature in approximately 10 degree F increments based on the sound. At least between 30F to -10F

- zulban 2y agoThere's definitely many, many different sounds of snow and ice based on temperature, and probably humidity, pressure, etc. Or what those conditions were 2 days ago when the snow fell, what they were yesterday, and what they are now. I live in Canada, Québec so maybe that makes me some kind of subjective authority.
- galaxyLogic 2y agoThis is a well-known phenomenon in Nordic countries I believe. There is a verb "narskua" in Finnish which is only used to describe the sound of walking on snow in below freezing temperatures. Google AI tells me: "The Finnish word narskua translates to "crunch" or "scrunch" in English. It's an onomatopoetic verb that describes the sound snow makes when you step on it in very cold temperatures"
