Snowflakes have six sides and all have a different design on them. Snow flakes are clear
but get a white color from light that is shining off the crystals. Snow is a mystery to
many people but after you look at it you will be more enlightened about snow. Snow is a
form of precipitation that consists of tiny pieces of frozen water bonded together.
Snowfall varies tremendously across the earth. It falls all the time in the polar regions
but it occurs more heavily in the mountainous regions. Snow even falls by the equator on
certain high mountain tops.
The beauty of snow is that you can do many things with it. You can ski on it, sled on
it, or just have a snowball fight. The beauty of snow is appreciated by some and hated by
a few others. We must remember that snow is only around for a short while till spring
comes and the temperatures rise above thirty two degrees Fahrenheit. When that day in the
spring comes then all of that wet beautiful cold fun stuff becomes just plain old water
again.
