    Final
In summary, the conversation was about a final round of voting for the best picture that represents the theme of snow. There were six pictures to choose from, and the participants were congratulated for making it this far. After some discussion and admiration of the photos, the majority of votes went to GeoMike's snowy trail picture, with some close competition from Mech_Engineer's snowy day picture. Some members also expressed their love for jtbell's blizzard picture and scorpa's snowy landscape.

For me it was a really difficult call between GeoMike and Mech_Engineer, but in the end, GeoMike's shot is all about snow.

These are all great shots - tough competition!

Geomike for me, that pic is beautiful.

I ended up going with jtbell. I love geomike's picture too, but jtbell's reminds me more of what snow looked like in the neighborhood where I grew up...the really good snow that got us a day off from school! :biggrin:

Geomike has a great picture that I've experience a few time in wood trails, BobG has a great snowing picture but Mech_Engineer has the winter feeling that I like and the feeling of what winter and snow is. So my vote went for Mech_Engineer

I had to go with geomike, cause honestly, I would love to be standing right there, right now.
 

1. What is the scientific explanation for snowfall?

Snowfall occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals and falls to the ground. The process of snow formation involves a combination of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric conditions.

2. How does snow affect the environment?

Snow plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate. It acts as an insulator, helping to keep the ground and bodies of water warm during winter. It also helps replenish groundwater and provides essential moisture for plants and animals.

3. Can snow be harmful to human health?

While snow can create hazardous driving conditions, it is generally not harmful to human health. However, extreme cold temperatures associated with snowfall can increase the risk of hypothermia and frostbite.

4. Is snowfall increasing or decreasing due to climate change?

The overall trend of snowfall is difficult to determine due to natural variability and regional differences. However, climate change is expected to lead to more frequent and severe winter storms in some areas, while others may experience a decrease in snowfall.

5. How do scientists measure snowfall?

Scientists use a variety of methods to measure snowfall, including snow gauges, snow pillows, and satellite imagery. These measurements are then used to calculate snow water equivalent, which is the amount of water contained in the snowpack.
