Snowflakes
How long does it take for a snowflake to reach earth? The hour-long journey of a snowflake from the cloud to the Earth’s surface is influenced by several factors. The speed at which a snowflake falls depends on its size and shape. Generally, larger snowflakes fall faster than smaller ones due to their greater mass. However, the complexity of a snowflake’s structure can also affect its fall rate.
Furthermore, the temperature and humidity of the air play a crucial role in determining the snowflake’s descent time. Colder temperatures and higher humidity levels tend to slow down the fall of snowflakes. As a result, snowflakes can take longer to reach the ground in certain weather conditions.

Interesting facts about snowflake, Thanks a lot for sharing.
Greetings.
I thought so, too. Happy Wordless Wednesday. 🙂
cool learning about the fall of a snowflake…thanks, Sandee!
I agree. I had no idea. Happy Wednesday. 🙂
WOW – first of all what an incredibly interesting bit of info regarding our beautiful and delicate snowflakes. Thanks for that!! I love starting my day learning something new.
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
I do,too. Happy Wednesday. Love and hugs to you and scritches to handsome Teddy. 🙂
What interesting facts and the next time we have a heat wave – bring on the snow!
I hear you. Happy Wednesday, Duke. My best to your mom. 🙂
I am giggling to myself. Snow could never hit the ground here, our temps are feel like 98 to 100. but if it could I would welcome it…
Hubby and I were in Miami in early February and it was so hot. I loved it. 🙂
Gostei, bem interessante saber sobre os flocos de neve!
beijos, lindo dia, chica
Thank you for playing along. Happy Wednesday, Chica. Hugs. 🙂
I like to find new things. And I love snowflakes, including to make
them from paper… Difficult to see them like in the image without a microscope.
Thanks for sharing this and thank you for the Blog Hop!
Happy WW, dear Sandee! Hugs and joy, my friend!❤️😘
Thank you for always linking up. Most appreciated. Happy Wednesday, Suzana. Love and hugs. 🙂
Well isn’t that interesting. Personally I would prefer they not fall from the sky at all or at least pick a different area to fall in.
I hear you. I’m not fan of snow either. 🙂
We miss out snowflakes. Too bad it can’t snow in summer to keep us all cool.
I know you love the snow. Happy Wednesday. Scritches to the pups. 🙂
Such an enchanting thought of snow falling… haha, not one I’ll catch outside my window here in the tropics.
Happy Wednesday, Sandee!
We don’t get snow here. Happy about that. Happy Wednesday, Veronica. 🙂
After reading this we have even more respect for a snowflake, Sandee😸We can use some snowflakes now too…the temperature is rising to 35℃95℉🫠Double Pawkisses for a COOL and Happy Day and week ahead for you, Zane and your awwdorable kitties too🐾😽💞
The snowflakes will cool us off. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Thank you for sharing interesting facts about snowflakes. They’re so pretty, and each one unique. Happy Wednesday!
I loved this info and thought it would cool things down on this summer day. Love and hugs, Eugenia. 🙂
I had never thought about how long it took for a snowflake to get here. Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day. XO
I hadn’t either and it’s amazing. That’s a very long time. Scritches to the kitties and a big hug to you. 🙂
That’s fascinating. But I’d rather not hear about snow just now. Great post. 🤣😎🙃
I hear you, but it’s hot and I thought I would cool things off for a bit. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
“An hour or so for one snowflake to fall from the clouds..?” The total brilliance nature reflected un these facts alone have me in awe. Thank you, Sandee, for this incredible insight.
Oops, so sorry for the typos in my earlier comment here, Sandee. I hit the send button accidentally while typing.
Happy Wordless Wednesday, dear friend.
Much love and hugs to you.
I hit send many times before I check my spelling. It’s all good. Hugs. 🙂
You are most kind, dear friend. Thank you very much!
I had no idea either. It’s amazing. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
Thank you, dear friend. Hugs back to you.
I live in an area that gets a lot of snow, and I could wish less of it fell. I’ve seen a lot of these little gems fall in my life. Alana ramblinwitham
I’ve never lived in snow country. It’s beautiful, but I’d rather be in a place that doesn’t get snow. 🙂
Cool facts (get it?) We could use a few of those today.
You get why I posted this at the beginning of summer. It’s hot outside. 🙂
I never thought about that before.
That makes two of us. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
That was really interesting but I hope we don’t see any of those any time soon!
I thought is was a way to cool down for a bit in this summer heat. 🙂
Well those are some things I never knew about snowflakes!
I didn’t know either. Mother Nature is very interesting. 🙂
I love you my Precious Wife. Your Loving Husband.
I love you my Precious Husband. 🙂
I always learn something new here. Thanks for sharing this information about snowflakes, Sandee!
Love and hugs, my friend. xo
I’m happy you enjoyed this. Happy day and rest of the week, my sweet friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
Love Wednesdays at your place Sandee, I always learn something new!
I’m happy about that. I have a great time searching for these tidbits. Scritches to the girls. 🙂
OH NOES!
NOT THE S WORD!
No, but it’s hot and I thought this would cool us down for a bit. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Interesting info. Have a great Wednesday and rest of the week!
You have a great Wednesday and rest of the week, Yvonne. 🙂
What fascinating background on snowflakes. I’ll bet there are lots of people who’d welcome them these days (especially Europe). Thanks for providing a marvelous tidbit shedding light on a slice of nature.
I love doing these tidbits every Wednesday. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
One of my favorite things to do in winter is simply observe the snow… the gentle flurries, the massive flakes, the tiny detail in a single flake if I can catch it alone. So much magic within all that white, if we just slow down enough to see it for a minute 🙂
Magic is right. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Great info and photo about snowflakes ~ seen enough now ~ can wait till winter to see anymore ~ lol ~ ^_^
Love and hugs from me and Ziggy ~ xx
We don’t get snow here and I’m happy about that. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
That’s something I’ve never even considered. It rarely snows here, but it’s an interesting fact none the less!
It’s been decades since it has snowed here and then it didn’t stick around for long. Happy day and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂
Funny to be thinking about snowflakes as summer begins 😹
I thought it would cool some of us off. It’s hot. 🙂
Of course, I LOVE this, as I deeply miss the deep piles of snowflakes at this time of year. I worked up a sweat yesterday and concluded it is time to more to the Arctic Circle!
Just a dumb question: why do many of your WW posters not allow Like on their sites?? But some do.
Thanx, Sandee, for hosting all of us‼️
❤️&🙏, c.a.
I know you love the winter. As for the likes, some don’t want likes so they don’t allow them. Some blogs like blogger don’t have that feature. There are so many different platforms for blogs. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
Hi Sandee
Sadly. Colorado did not have good snowpact this winter and many states are now suffering from a lack of river water to fill their reservoirs. Snow melt here begins the headwaters of many rivers. I am hoping the winter ahead will be better!
We depend on the snowfall in our mountains too. Some years it’s great and other not so much. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
We love you both, you precious couple!!!! And we feel that same love for one another, too. Sweet Wednesday for you both and your darling kitties.
It’s a beautiful thing. Sweet Wednesday to you, too. Hugs. 🙂
Sandee what amazing information WOW
And oh how beautiful the snow flakes are
Hugs Cecilia
Our world is a mysterious place. A wonderful place. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂
Snowflakes are so pretty. I’ve had them land on my dark coat and you can see the individual shape for a few seconds. Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! <3
I thought they would cool us off on this hot summer day. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week, Barbara. 🙂
Snowflakes are fascinating, especially to those of us who see them so seldom.
You and Mr. Zane have a blessed week and please give an extra treat to each of your kitties from me.
You’re right about that. It’s been years. Lake Tahoe was the last time I saw snow. You and Mr. Sweetie have a blessed rest of the week, too. Extra treats were given. Love and hugs. 🙂
Nature and all its fascinating facets amaze me. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, my dear.
Nature is amazing indeed. You’re welcome. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Hugs. 🙂
Wow, we never knew those snowflake facts. Thanks for sharing this today, Sandee! 🙂
I didn’t either. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Some cool snowflakes for beginning of summer … excellent idea. Somewhere, I have a similar photo that Dad Tom took many years ago. Thanks, as always, for the link up. Today was a yard work day for me. Coop sends some kitty kisses. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
I really love the Cooper sent some kitty kisses. I love him so very much. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and a big hug to you. 🙂
So, this is why it looks as if snowflakes are floating to the ground. It’s so pretty to watch the snow fall and I love a beautiful winter wonderland scene just as long as it’s a picture. 🙂 Cool factoids!
I’m with you. I don’t want to live in snow country. Beautiful but creates a lot of work. Love and hugs, Cathy. 🙂
How amazing, who knew!!!! Happy Friday Sandee, we hope you day is epic, and thank mew so furry much for adding our links!!! 🐾😻🌷😻🐾
It is amazing. Happy Friday and weekend, my friend. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Snowflakes.
Perspective is everything. Here, on the cusp of July in the Northern Hemisphere, we think “cool” (no pun intended) when we think of snowflakes.
Not so much in January.
That’s what I was going for. Cool on these hot days. 🙂
