FAKTA OM SNÖ OCH SNÖFLINGORNA.

Lite roliga fakta om snön =)

"Fun snow facts:

- Snow is formed by the crystallization of water and since all water molecules have six sides, so do all snowflakes.

- On average an inch of rain can become one foot of snow.

- There are 7 major snowflake shapes: tubes, stars, hexagonal plates, ridged arm stars, hexagonal columns, needles, and irregular.

- In 1755 the red dust from the Sahara desert caused red snow to fall over Europe when the dust became condensation nuclei for flakes.

- Fluffy (powdery) snow which falls at very low temperatures can be up to 95% air, while warmer temperature will produce very wet heavy flakes.

- An average snowflake is made up of 180 billion water molecules.  "

Hämtat från ett roligt nyhetsbrev som jag får från något, som heter "Wild Birds Unlimited".

Trevligt brev med roliga fakta om fåglar och fågelmat men också om hur man ordnar "matplats" eller "matbord" till sina fåglar.
