Snowflakes?
"Taz" me@home wrote in message ... Looks like everyone avoided the original question. Why are snowflakes created when they should just form a pellet? It is the shape of the H2O molecule which decides the shape of the crystal. It is like a boomerang, with a 120deg bend. Thus the crystals are flat and six sided. HTH, Cheers, Alastair. |

confuse things a little bit. Steve Loft Thank you for that warning. I haven't tripped over the reference yet - what *do* the Leftpondians describe as sleet? Anne |

I'm afraid I don't know what they call the mixture of rain and snow (or melting snow) that we call sleet. -- Steve Loft, Wanlockhead, Dumfriesshire. 1417ft ASL Weather and webcam: http://www.wanlockhead.org.uk/ Free weather softwa http://cumulus.nybbles.co.uk/ Hand-crafted greetings cards: http://www.fairhand.co.uk/ |
