He also had to be wary that each flake wouldn’t last long, and so he had to hold his breath while sketching.…

    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. Goldsworthy created the art to show the similarities between the snowballs and the inhabitance. 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…

    Valcourt, Quebec is a very snow heavy place in Canada. The roads were never plowed in rural areas like Valcourt back in the 1920’s, making outside travel during the winter impossible. Growth was slow, towns were very spread apart, and illness during these periods spelled death with the inability to travel. What if one machine could change all of those things and more? Joseph Armand Bombardier thought so when he created the first snowmobile in 1922.…

    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.…

    She crosses the tile floor, hazel eyes fixated on the bottom drawer to her antique desk, late forties or early fifties. What lies in the bottom drawer is a device so powerful—no—so dangerous, that it had to be hidden once it reach completion. It's been many years since she dared to gaze upon the device in fear of someone with nefarious intentions stumbles upon its dwelling place. Falling to her knees, she ignores the burning of her nose as she stirs up dust and cobwebs, and reaches for the desk handle, inching it open just enough for her to see the black metallic gleam on the small, circular device. Her finger grazes the top of the device, silently noting how cold it is, but she tears her eyes away a moment—just to catch a glimmer of the outside world through the long over arching window in her bedroom— to watch the falling white snowflakes coat the world in a blanket of perfection,…
