The Nature of Phenology 11/27/21: First Snowfall

Producers: Hazel Stark & Joe Horn
Host: Hazel Stark

When I say first snowfall, I’m not talking about the first time we get a quick, fluttering flurry of snowflakes or a gray day with the occasional snowflake lazily descending towards the green grass. No, I am talking about the get-out-the-ruler, stoke-up-the-woodstove, pull-out-the-sled, first snow of the year. But how does that snow form?
