G&B Environmental continues to install cottonwood protection screens, even when the only thing on our minds is snow. To refresh your memory, here is the Wikipedia definition of snow.n
Snown refers to forms ofn icen crystals that precipitate from the atmosphere (usually from clouds) and undergo changes on the Earth’s surface.n [2]n It pertains to frozen crystalline water throughout its life cycle, starting when, under suitable conditions, the ice crystals form in the atmosphere, increase to millimeter size, precipitate and accumulate on surfaces, then metamorphose in place, and ultimately melt, slide o sublimaten away.n Snowstormsn organize and develop by feeding on sources of atmospheric moisture and cold air.n Snowflakesn nucleaten around particles in the atmosphere by attractingn super cooledn water droplets, which freeze in hexagonal-shaped crystals. Snowflakes take on a variety of shapes, basic among these are platelets, needles, columns andn rimen . As snow accumulates into an snowpackn , it may blow into drifts. Over time, accumulated snow metamorphoses, byn sinteringn ,n sublimationn andn freeze-thawn . Where the climate is cold enough for year-to-year accumulation, an glacie may form. Otherwise, snow typically melts seasonally, causing runoff into streams and rivers and rechargingn groundwate .n
Major snow-prone areas include then polar regionsn , the upper half of then Northe Hemispheren and mountainous regions worldwide with sufficient moisture and cold temperatures. In then Southe Hemispheren , snow is confined primarily to mountainous areas, apart fromn Antarctican .n [3]n
