re: Snow
Like it Kim. The bit about it ever being to cold to snow I should copy and shove in peoples faces that always say "oh it's too cold for snow"! Then how the hell does it snow at the South or North pole???? GOD!!!!
re: Snow
thanks Kim!re: Snow
It doesnt actually snow at the poles, it is too cold.
But in the uk, yes u r correct in what you say.
re: Snow
Thought provoking eh! I thought there was snow at the Poles.......will have to do further nosing on the Net!
re: Snow
it looks like there is snow at the poles, however it is not technically snow. Snow aswell as rainfall requires the air to absorb moisture, in order for snow/rain to form. At the poles it is so cold that the air cant pick up alot of moisture. Due to this it doesnt snow at the poles. What happens is that very small ice crystal form in the air which fall to the earth. These are actually to small to see by the naked eye. The 'snow' affect on the ground is only the build up of these crystals over ...
