Advent 2019 Day 2: Holy crap, it’s snowing!

minden

Gyönyörűen esik odakint a hó! Hallgasd meg a havazásról szóló dalt, amiből azt is megtanulhatod, hogy mi is az a hó, és hogyan keletkezik.

 

The Cog is Dead: Holy Crap, It’s Snowing!

 

Holy crap, it’s snowing!

The flakes are falling down, the wind is blowing.

The roads are closed, there’s nowhere I’ll be going now.

I guess today I’m staying home.

 

Oh yeah. But what is this “snow” you ask?

 

Water freezes into icy flakes.

It’s sort of a frozen form of precipitation.

Blankets all the houses, trees and lakes.

And everything is covered in a layer of white!

 

Holy crap, it’s snowing!

That’s right!

The inches on the ground just keep on growing.

It’s bright!

The snow reflects the sun and it is glowing now!

I think I’ll put my goggles on.

 

It’s important!  You know snow blindness is a real thing!

 

When temperatures reach 0° Celsius or 32° Fahrenheit

Atmospheric water vapor freezes into beautiful geometric crystals.

These crystals fall from the sky down to the Earth in what is commonly known as snow.  And what’s that I see out there?

 

Holy crap, it’s snowing!

Oh my!

And not a single blade of grass is showing.

It’s cold!

And it’s not showing any signs of slowing soon.

I guess it’s time to go inside.  Yup!
