Snow FAQ

[Rider.Steve]

While we're waiting for more fluffy white stuff in New England, it's a good time to bone up on Snow I.Q.:

What is hail and is it dangerous?
The sound of hail
Are raindrops really tear-shaped?
Big and small snowflakes
Can snow be coloured?
Sounds of snow
Which day is the snowiest?
What do you call it when snow evaporates before hitting the ground?
I would like to know when it is too warm to snow?
What determines whether Q will fall as freezing rain or snow?
Why are all snow flakes six sided?
Can it ever be too cold for it to snow?
Why does it snow at all when it's above 0?
What is the Bergeron Process?

Its like a poem:

six sided flakes
evaporating before they hit the ground
the sound of snow

The snowiest day
it can't be too warm or too cold
colored flakes

Aparently the snow total is up due to October...but it's looking pretty bare except in the higher mountains.
