SNOWS: WHY DO WE HAVE THEM? It happened today in Ado Ekiti

       Can you imagine some differently shaped frozen crystals slides and sublimates the sky? Actually, its from the clouds.
        

Precipitation is water in either solid or liquid form that falls from Earth 's atmosphere. Major forms of precipitation include rain, snow, and hail. When air is lifted in the atmosphere, it expands and cools. Cool air cannot hold as much water in vapor form as warm air, and the
condensation of vapor into droplets or ice crystals may eventually occur.
If these droplets or crystals continue to grow to large sizes, they will eventually be heavy enough to fall to the earth's surface.

What is a snowflake?
    A snowflake consists of roughly numerous water molecules, Snow crystals form when tiny supercooled cloud droplets (about 10 μm in diameter) freeze . These droplets are able to remain liquid at temperatures lower than −18 °C.
      Snowflakes vary in sizes!

Highest seasonal total snowfall – The world record for the highest seasonal total snowfall was measured in the United States at Mount Baker Ski Area , outside of the town Bellingham,
Washington during the 1998–1999 season. Mount Baker received 2,896 cm (95.01 ft) of snow, thus surpassing the previous record holder,
Mount Rainier , Washington, which during the 1971–1972 season received 2,850 cm (93.5 ft) of snow.

Highest seasonal average annual snowfall – The world record for the highest average annual snowfall is 1,764 cm (57.87 ft), measured in Sukayu Onsen, Japan  for the period of 1981–2010.

Largest snowflakes – Guinness World Records list the world's largest snowflakes as those of January 1887 at Fort Keogh, Montana; allegedly one measured 38 cm (15 in) wide.

A cold font, A warm font, lake and ocean effects, mountain effects, e.t.c are some of theories that supports the existence of SNOW.

And you know what I think? God is mighty: really MIGHTY!
