"Take that global warming"

Yup. Snow doesn't comes from water vapor and something isn't needed  to warm up said water
to put more of it in the air.  It's all boo_chit.  ;)

You people enjoy the snow for a while. Been pretty nice here in Mass

Just planted my first palm tree and the orange trees are starting to blossom.


Warm air does not snow make.  :lol


Did you know that water can evaporate very quickly in cold air?


Do you think global warming caused the last ice age?

soooo....you think there needs to be hi temps for water to evaporate? when the snow melts, just where do you think it goes? perhaps it goes to water heaven?

Cap,

Tell him that water even sublimates , that will really blow his mind.....

It was my understanding water mainly absorbed into the land at lower temperatures though.

some does........more than in the warmer weather.....but if you've noticed steam rising off of puddles, or small ice patches in the cold weather?  :D

Hmmm.  You should stick to cars, CAP.

When snow melts.... it is liquid, so it either soaks into the water table or it flows away in creeks and rivers. It ends up in the ocean. It's called the first half of the 'hydrologic cycle'.  Snow falls, then melts.


Strip needs to remember that sublimation (of H2O) can't happen without heat, as well as very low humidity overall.

Again, being half-right about something doesn't prove your point.  Evaporation rates are dependent upon things other than air temperature, but this does not support your assertion that rates are equal to those generated from higher temps.

A simple chart to illustrate my point, from our friends in the Roads Dept.

Yeah.  I didn't think you'd even try.

Heat would be anything over absolute zero.

Absolute zero has absolutely zilch to do with this.

Quote
Without the addition of energy (heat) to the process, ice would not sublimate into vapor. That is where sunlight plays a large role in the natural world. Water has a physical property called the "heat of vaporization," which is the amount of heat required to vaporize water. If you want an exact amount of heat, the heat of vaporization of water is 540 calories/gram, or 2,260 kilojoules/kilogram. That is a lot more energy than is needed to convert water to ice (the latent heat of fusion), which is 80 calories/gram. And, it is also about five times the energy needed for heating water from the freezing point to the boiling point. In summary, energy is needed for the sublimation of ice to vapor to occur, and most of the energy is needed in the vaporization phase. A cubic centimeter (1 gram) of water in ice form requires 80 calories to melt, 100 calories to rise to boiling point, and another 540 calories to vaporize, a total of 720 calories. Sublimation requires the same energy input, but bypasses the liquid phase.

So, you'll just stop with interrupting every thread with personal opinion supported with zero fact, and iced with bashing other posters?   :aok

 I'd recommend it kid.

Illustrate your point, please.  Not bashing, btw. Just want to see where your ideology is....  Especially due to cold air being unable to carry nearly as much water vapor than warm.  (which is why snowfall is very limited under 23 degrees F.)

What's this cold weather stuff?  Didn't the rest of you guys wear short this Sunday too?

Anyways, changing the subject, what's the rest of you guys BBQing for the Super Bowl this weekend?  :devil
