Today my cats were waiting outside some mouse tunnels in the snow and they probably heard some extra squeaks since it was very cold and the snow was “squeaking” when stepped on. On warmer days, the pressure applied to the snow when stepped on will melt and lubricate the snow crystals as they pass each together. But on cold days, the snow crystals break and crash together causing the squeak sound although the snow I stepped on probably screamed bloody murder as they shattered.
