Nature's snow science dazzles eyes and farms
The National Geographic Society explains snow as crystallizing water vapor forming ice crystals. Snowflakes vary in shape due to temperature and humidity, with some reaching four inches in diameter. Snow provides water for irrigation and power, informs agricultural planning, and in Idaho a 70,000 acre farm saved about 300000 dollars by aligning crops with expected water supply.
