- For it to snow the tops of the clouds must be below 0 degrees Celsius, or 32 degrees Fahrenheit. *
- Snow is actually clear/transparent. Snow appears white because the crystals act as prisms, breaking up the light of the sun into the entire spectrum of color.**
- There are five different shapes of snow crystals. A long needle shape, hollow column that is shaped like a six-sided prism, thin and flat six-sided plates, six-pointed stars and intricate dendrites.**
- The biggest snow storm in the United States occurred in 1967 in mid-western parts of the country. In Chicago, the storm accumulated 23 inches of snow in just 24 hours!***
We're expecting another 8-15"in the next 24 hrs. Stay warm and if you really have to go out then please drive safe!!
