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.

    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 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. 🙂

  7. “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 had no idea either. It’s amazing. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂

  8. 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. 🙂

    • You get why I posted this at the beginning of summer. It’s hot outside. 🙂

    • That makes two of us. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂

    • I thought is was a way to cool down for a bit in this summer heat. 🙂

    • I didn’t know either. Mother Nature is very interesting. 🙂

    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. 🙂

    • I’m happy about that. I have a great time searching for these tidbits. Scritches to the girls. 🙂

    • No, but it’s hot and I thought this would cool us down for a bit. Happy day 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. 🙂

  11. 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. 🙂

    • We don’t get snow here and I’m happy about that. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂

  12. 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. 🙂

  13. Funny to be thinking about snowflakes as summer begins 😹

    • I thought it would cool some of us off. It’s hot. 🙂

  14. 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. 🙂

  15. 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. 🙂

  16. 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. 🙂

    • Our world is a mysterious place. A wonderful place. Love and hugs, my friend. 🙂

  17. 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. 🙂

  18. 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 is amazing indeed. You’re welcome. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. Hugs. 🙂

    • 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. 🙂

  20. 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. 🙂

  21. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team

    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. 🙂

  22. 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. 🙂
