Nature Walk: Snow Waves

Posted on February 24, 2015 at 10:00 AM by Taylor Eisenhauer

“Snow is simply frozen water, and like water, it moves when you add wind. If it is a strong wind, snow forms waves very much like the waves on a large body of water. They have crests and troughs, and the pattern repeats itself over and over with subtle variations.” – Carl Kurtz
