There has never been such a thing, and here again… The thing is that every winter snow falls in the northern hemisphere. And for many people it becomes something unexpected. For some people it is a pleasant surprise, but for others it is not. For public services, that is right. And, probably, not only janitors, but also many of us thought about where the snow comes from and why it is needed. Therefore, let is take care of it with the help of quotes about the snow.

Quotes are citations and now some information. So, let is start with the fact that snow is a form of precipitation, which consists of the smallest crystals of frozen water.
The mechanism of snow formation is quite simple. Tiny droplets of water stick to dust particles and freeze while in the atmosphere.
Around one million droplets of water are needed to form a single snowflake. As a result, ice crystals are formed that do not exceed 0.1 millimeters in diameter and fall under gravity and increase as a result of condensation of air humidity.
The biggest known to people snowflake was recorded on January 28, 1887 during a snowfall in the American state of Montana. It had a diameter of 38 centimeters. Normal snowflakes have about 5 millimeters in diameter with a mass of 0.004 grams.
Beautiful quotes about snow
From the snow quotes, back to the facts. Snow played a very important role in the life of the Earth – it was with the beginning of snowfalls and the appearance of snow-covered surfaces that the temperature of the planet is hot volcanic processes began to decrease. Thanks to this, the planet has a climate suitable for life.
If it weren’t for snowfalls, the Earth would have been hot and uninhabitable.
Snow quotes with meaning
As hard as it is to find two identical quotes about snow, there are really no two identical snowflakes in nature. This conclusion was reached in 1880, when the American photographer Wilson Alvin Bentley tried to make a catalog of snowflakes.
His first photo was taken on January 15, 1885. Since that day, he took pictures of more than 5 thousand snowflakes, and began to study them together with his friend, Professor of Natural History George Perkins. It was Bentley and Perkins who were the first to say that there are no two identical snowflakes.
Modern scientists have gone further and with the help of mathematical formulas prove that the number of variants of snowflake forms is greater than the number of atoms in the observed human part of the universe.
Statements about snow
Everybody is sure that the snow is exclusively white. But in fact, the snow is bluish. Its bluish shade is especially noticeable in the shade, in the twilight, as well as in deep depressions.
But this is not necessarily the case. In the highlands of the California Sierra Nevada Ridge, for example, snow is often pink. This shade is due to the presence of algae particles containing red pigment astaxanthin. Even the black snowfall that occurred in Switzerland on Christmas Day 1969 is known in history.
By the way, the Eskimos have up to 24 shades of snow and the Sámi have 41 shades of snow. Nobody even counted about the snow quotations…
And, of course, everyone knows it is snowing in winter. So here is another set of quotes about winter.
