The warm spells, brilliant sunlight, and gentle summer breeze are all part of the many reasons we all love summer so much. If you’re still a student, the summer holidays are most likely your favorite time. You can finally forgo those long, boring classes and exhausting assignments and enjoy a relaxing time with your friends.
While we often appreciate the wonders of summer, we sometimes fail to treasure the intricacies of the cold, quiet winter and the beautiful, elegant snow. There’s nothing more comforting and relaxing than lazing around a warm fireplace with your loved ones on a cold, wintery night with a warm cup of cocoa in your gloved hands. Every winter, several temperate countries around the globe are blessed with and surrounded by snow.
Like rain, snow is formed from the precipitation of water vapor. Amazingly, rain is usually in the form of snow high up in the clouds. However, as it begins to fall to the earth, it melts as it descends through warmer air.
What makes snow utterly fascinating is the unique characteristic of snowflakes. Snowflakes are formed when water crystals freeze on top of dust or pollen particles within the atmosphere. Essentially, all snowflakes have six sides. However, snowflakes are as distinct as fingerprints because no two snowflakes have the same intricate features. This is majorly because of the significant difference in the conditions each snowflake experiences as it descends to the earth.
When asked, most people would often describe snow’s physical appearance and color as white, freezing masses. However, this is not entirely true. Snow is translucent and colorless. It only appears white because snow scatters all the wavelengths of light equally.
Snow is truly one of the most magnificent and magical parts of winter. As such, we have curated some fantastic winter and snow quotes you can enjoy while building snowmen and making snow angels.
