Commentary for Job 38:22

הֲ֭בָאתָ אֶל־אֹצְר֣וֹת שָׁ֑לֶג וְאֹצְר֖וֹת בָּרָ֣ד תִּרְאֶֽה׃

Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail,

Malbim on Job

God now speaks of other features of Creation and of their use as instruments of Providence: how He had created the Universe to be a home for man.
Malbim takes these verses as referring to the permanent snow found on high mountains in places such as Switzerland, the Tyrol, Savoy and Piedmont as well as in the polar regions (Iceland and Greenland), and to the invisible ice-crystals in the upper atmosphere.
