https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6 After reading about snowflake facts, share something you learned. en-us 2020-12-17 14:40:04 UTC 2025-10-13 21:03:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1027973590 Here are the different types of snowflakes including the needle crystal, columnar crystal, plate crystal, combination of columnar and plate crystals, columnar crystal with extended side planes, rimed crystal, irregular snow crystal, and germ of snow crystal.
The largest snowball fight included 5,834 people exchanging snowballs and the most amount of snow angles in one place had 8,962 people laying in the snow. The most amount of snow that fell in twenty four hours was 75.8 inches that's 6.31 feet! The tallest snowman ever made was 122 feet tall!]]> 2020-12-17 15:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1027973590 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1027974073 I learned that a snowflake is a group of snow crystals that are stuck together. A lot of people believe that snowflakes are simply frozen rain drops but that is not true. Snow crystals, which make up snowflakes, form from frozen vapor in the clouds, while frozen raindrops are sleet. They are all unique. Some all as small as a penny and some are the size of a nickel. Most have 6 flakes but sometimes it's possible to find one with 3 flakes!]]> 2020-12-17 15:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1027974073 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1027976312 I learned that a snowflake is a group of snow crystals that are stuck together also I learned that Snowflakes come in an infinite range of shapes and sizes!

Also It is estimated of half the people in the world have never seen snow in person! this fact is crazy did you know that Snow is not actually white! be light cannot pass thru it! And did you also know that There has never been snow falling in Key West Florida!  The largest snowball fight to take place occurred in Seattle in 2013 when 5,834 people participated in an exchange of snowballs! The largest number of snow angels made in one place happened in North Dakota in 2007 when 8,962 people laid in the snow and created snow angels!]]> 2020-12-17 15:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1027988958 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1028001470 I learned that it is estimated that approximately 1 million billion snowflakes fall every second on earth. Also, it is estimated that roughly half of the people in the world have never seen snow in person. Did you know that snow is not actually white? It is translucent. Because light cannot pass through easily, it is reflected instead, resulting in its white color to the eye. Snow can actually appear blue if it has had a chance to build many layers. In areas with deeper snow it is more likely to appear blue. Snow can also appear pink in areas where some types of fresh water algae tint the snow with red pigment. Although made of snow, an igloo can actually be 100 degrees warmer on the inside than it is on the outside. Igloos are made from compacted snow which does not transfer heat because it is mostly trapped air. Also, a snowflake's shape is determined by the humidity and temperature when it is formed.

Something else I learned is that snow is actually not white, snow doesn't really even have a color. Snowflakes are apparently translucent, which would make them clear-because light cannot pass through the snow crystals easily, then the light reflects off of the snow crystals, which then comes for snow to be white to the human eye. ]]> 2020-12-17 15:07:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1028001482 https://padlet.com/cwiles_stasko/u4kiz2n2lrow85w6/wish/1028011990 I learned that 1 million billion snowflakes fall on the ground when its snowing. I also learned that snow is NOT white. Its a different color. The sunlight cant shine on it but it can reflect on it to make it look like snow. It could be blue sometimes too. Also, the biggest snowflake would be the same size of a penny! The most snowfall in the United States was in 1921.it was in silver lake and it snowed 75.8 inches high!

8.Every snowflake is different, no 2 look alike.
9.The majority of the world's freshwater supply is in ice and snow.

snow is not really white it is clear and it only looks like that to the eye
