Snow!

It's snowing! And it's sticking!

..

The first time I walked out front, the snowflakes kept tickling my nose. The last time, I wore a warm facemask.

The 2nd time I walked out front, my footprints from the first time were already snowed over. I could feel the snow crunching a bit under my feet. Now my last footprints are already snowed over.

Looking up at the snow falling, it streaks by, too fast to catch more than glimpses of individual flakes. Mostly rather small flakes when I was out there.

I don't know! I'll have to try that next time. It was pretty cold this morning but it's a balmy -15°C now. Tomorrow morning the weather report promises -27°C before the dawn. If I think of it, I'll give the cold water toss a try. For Science!

Science laughs at the cold! After it has put on a sweater, boots, a tuque, a scarf, a winter coat and thick gloves.

I waited to daybreak, to better appreciate the mist. Air temperature -24°C, slow air displacement, hardly a breeze at all (unless you're a Breezie, in which case you'd be frozen solid before you hit the ground). I threw a pot of +10°C "cold water" into the air. Very little mist, just splashed down into the snow. I threw a pot of +100°C water into the air (had been simmering on the stove). Much mist created, little water reached the ground. The mist drifted horizontally at walking speed in the breeze, mostly dissipating after about 50 m. The mist lasts longer at colder air temperatures.

Science high tailed it back indoors to bask in front of the radiator.

A Breezie is a My Little Pony (Friendship is Magic) character, it's like a pony-shaped pixie or sprite. Tiny, insect-winged, collects pollen and terribly delicate. Any wind faster than a walk sends them tumbling out of control and crashing into things.
