It Snowed All Day For Two Days...But I'm Still Grumpy

Not Enough On The Ground To Ride My Sled


One of the little details I know about from taking three quarters of Thermodynamics in college applies to winter weather and real life.

That would be that when the air temperature is below freezing but the air is DRY AS THE SAHARA DESERT, any snow that comes down out of the sky ends up producing snowflakes that don't hang around, but they also don't melt.

They go through a process on the Psychometric chart (something all of us injuneers carry around in our wallet) called "Sublimation", where the water skips over the "liquid phase" and goes straight from the "solid phase" to the "gaseous phase" right before your eyes.

That said, we've had a bunch of that (sublimation) going on around here the past ten days or two weeks else we'd really be up to our knees in snow drifts here at the Turbo Pup Compound on the banks of the Mighty Tennessee River.

Meanwhile, looking at the internet, back on our little Island down on the Georgia Coast it is what...let me check..."sunny and 51 degrees F."

Who's idea was this any way?
