If the truth shall kill them, let them die. Always learning & growing so never the same. Merely a humble student & no master.
I am seeing people across the northern states where the snow is heavier saying it feels like the artificial snow on ski slopes they make...not natural snow. Someone needs to get some under magnification and check the geometry of it. Snowflakes look different than artificial snow under magnification...
I always thought snow texture in extreme cold was grainier. Remembering that from childhood, many years ago.
The difference tween the real and fake though should be apparent under magnification. I would but in Western Colorado, I don't have any snow right now.
