A Scientific Breakdown of Winter Across the Globe

[@GAPSYO3O1]

One year winter came early in Colorado and it started to snow before Halloween, we had our Halloween decorations up and weren’t able to take them down until it turned to spring and underneath all of our Halloween stuff were millions of ladybugs! We had an insane amount of ladybugs that year (good timing too because we also had a crazy amount of Aphid eggs on our apple trees) so I like to think that year we saved my yard from an insane aphid invasion because we were too wussy to take down the Halloween decorations that year

[@mg-ve2zf]

3:02 I’ve been there, it’s a lake called Lake Tahoe. This picture doesn’t do it much justice, but the water is so clear you can see down about 30 feet (maybe more, I don’t really remember). It’s also a few miles across and about 20 miles long. It’s made completely of snow melt from the Sierra Nevada mountains above it. It’s in the middle of the desert but the water is freezing. It’s really high above sea level, too. It’s in between some mountains above Reno. It’s super cool.

[@lorijudd2151]

I've added that to my bucket list.

[@revolver265]

Dang, I've been to Tahoe so many times because the quickest way out of Reno sometimes is a couple of spare State Routes, but I've never noticed an island in the lake, and the waves are usually choppy as all hell. Did a quick Google, and it's Fannette island, on the Cali side. The image is a stock one from Wikipedia.

Astaxanthin is actually a very potent antioxidant. Maybe you might want to eat the pink snow... or harvest it and extract the astaxanthin, which sells for a good bit.

[@meusana3681]

pholotic magmas are viscous because of a high silicate composition. Silicates have a much lower melting point than iron, hence the pasty nature. Viscous magma (and in particular felsic magma) has a tendency to trap air bubbles which releases under substantial pressures producing these "Lava Bombs". Also: In magma H2O is considered as a volatile fluid that can reduce the melting point of most rock.

[@meusana3681]

[@meusana3681]

@@biohazardlnfS I deliberately live in the coldest place in south africa because I love winter. Our record low is -13C(8.6F). Also, if your balls pull back up, isn't that like de-maturing instead of de-evolving? If you were to de-evolve that would imply growing more hai....oh nevermind. I forgot how hairy the vikings were.

[@rookhoatzin]

I'm in Alaska and we have frogs here that freeze solid in the winter then, come spring, thaw out and hop away. It is getting warmer here though. record warm summer, now winter is slow to materialize. I would love to visit Africa, but anything over about 22C and i am sweating balls. !Happiness!

[@dalton6173]

Standing in one location on snow could also exert your gravity's force on that one layer obviously goes down through that however it has to go through that top layer and might melt it a little bit just due to gravity of such a large object in comparison to its own size.

How can you tell if something is slippery if you're standing still. As soon as you begin the process of "slipping" on a molecular level, that first movement would cause friction?
