Did You Know?????

We are going to investigate

Winter Weather Trivia

today.

I'm sure most of

you are asking "WHY?"

Well, because this stuff

is interesting and I am

one of THOSE "Winter

lovers."

**Water spontaneously

freezes at -40 degrees F.

If you were to pour a cup

of water out the window

it would freeze before

hitting the ground.

**A car radiator is NOT

effected by Wind Chill.

But people and animals

are--especially exposed

skin.

**The difference between:

HAIL--A chunk or stone of

ice dropped from a thunder-

storm.

SLEET--Frozen Rain.

FREEZING RAIN--Rain that

freezes to surface--ie: tree

or road.

**TRUE or FALSE??

It must be 32 deg. or colder

to snow.

FALSE--It has snowed before

at 40 deg. due to temps. in the

clouds being below 32 deg.

where the snow is forming.

**One inch of rain is

equal to 10 inches of

snow!!!!! When melted.

**It CAN snow from

clear skies due to ice

crystals falling from

clear skies when temps.

are in the single digits.

**One inch of ICE is

more dangerous to

trees and power lines

one inch of wet snow.

***********************

Now see that wasn't so

bad was it? Betcha you

learned at least ONE

thing. I know I did.

Now you have party

chatter that you can use

at the next party--when/if

things get dull. :)
