Icy Figures

Did you know, that all snowflakes are different? They are amazing, unique figures. Flakes are beautiful because of their extraordinary shapes, their variety of myths, and how they're created from the dust of the earth.

Tabitha Walker tells us in "Snow Day!" that when the evaporation hits a specific level of atmosphere, the air temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less, the water vapor switches from gas to solid, creating frozen water called ice crystals. The ice crystals are created from the dust and dirt and make them into hexagonal shapes. Absolutely no snowflake is like the others. They are all unique and different from the others.

This is known as heterogeneous freezing, which simply means that water droplets freeze with the help of another substance or substances.…

    The snowballs themselves weren’t as much about the physical attributes of the snow as much as about the time that it took to make and the change that occurred to the snow while on the city streets.

Specifically how the daily flow of commuters, which he describes as “a river of people” flowed similar in spirit to the dialogue he seeks when placing works in relation to a real river. Understandably the idea of a snowball is generally known, but not…

    Snow globes are made of clear glass, a transparent sphere with a scenic view and a plastic toy inside the globe. The sphere likewise encases the water in the globe; the water fills in as the medium through, where the snow falls. The globe must be shaken to actuate the snow so the white particles can fall gradually to reach the base. When the snowflakes/object falls, it experiences two external forces which are; the gravitational force and the aerodynamic (air resistance) drag of the object, which gradually brings the object down. Furthermore, the drag force affects the object because of the shape and the viscosity of the fluid.…
