A Little Information about Snow seen in the Colder Area's of the World

That White Sticking Stuff that can pile up and be lots of Fun or Driving Your Vehicle Tricky. We all Wish for a
White Christmas as it Adds some Beauty to the Streets, Homes, Buildings, Trees, Sidewalks as the White Cold
Stuff is an Eye Catching Sight. Those Who Sky have fun at their Favorite Resort in the Mountains and have a
Good Time on the Slopes, in Their Room at the Lodge . The Snow is a Thing of Beauty but it can be a Cold
Danger on the Road or Up in the Mountains if your Vehicle has a Flat Tire or Breaks Down. We must Dress Warm When we go Out in the Snow for a Drive or Walk and for the few Who Hike or Climb the Mountains. The   Snow is Cold and so is the Air and this will Penetrate Thin Layers of Clothing. If Your Clothes get Wet they must be Dried and Wrung Out and a Fire must be Started. You can Loose Body Heat and Hypothermia can ,set in. So
we must prepare with the Proper Warm and Insulating Clothing. The Snow is an Interesting Process as at 32
Degrees Water Freezes and Ice should Form and drop from the Sky. But a Unique Process by Mother Nature
and the Snow is not Ice but a Odd Multi Sided Flake Flake in which None are alike. When the Ground is Cold
enough they Stick to Build & Pile up.

The further North You go the Colder it gets and more Snow is Produced as Moist Air Fuels the Clouds and they   Fill and get Heavier and Open up and Snow Falls at the Freezing Point. It is more Complex of a Process as it is also Colder up in the Clouds as it stays Snow at the 32 Degrees or Colder. We had Older Refrigerators that would get Frost on the Top & Bottom that was a White Color and not Ice like in our Trays which is Clear. So Cold Water and Cold Air can do Unique Things that can Form in different Places and make Things in Nature that is part of our Life like Snow to be Enjoyed at our Homes, Work or School and the Places we go to every Day. We must also Respect it as it does Pile up and effect our Travel to all Places We go During a Snow Fall as Tons of it can Accumulate before You Know it. Big Cities can Prepare but Small Ones can be Stopped for a bit and for the Country or Mountain Areas a Car can not Travel as the Roads are not Passable. They must wait or use a Snow Mobile if they have One or a Horse if the Snow isn't to Deep. It doesn't Snow in certain Parts of the World like in the South but in the Mountains in a few Locations as the Higher Altitudes are Colder which can Produce the Snow when Clouds Move in. It can Snow in a Hurry in the Mountains and get Cold Quickly. As Mother Nature can Sneak up on Us without a Warning in Winter and let it Snow. Lets us Dream of a White Christmas but a Safe Travel for those Who Hit the Road by Car, Bus or Take a Trip to the Airport to go by Jet Plane. :-)
