Wordless Wednesday

WW is a simple blog post featuring a photo which conveys a message that speaks for itself without using words.

For all the rule breakers, of which I am one, please feel free to add all the words you want.

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.

    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.

    “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.

    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

    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.

    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 🙂

    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.

    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!
