No matter how old I get, or how much science I learn, I still find snow magical! 💚

Snow instantly makes me happy! We once got 3 ft. of snow, in one day. My mom loved telling people, how I didn't sleep or stop smiling for 3 straight days. Even in the middle of the night, I was out playing in the snow with my dogs. Lol.

I remember driving in a blizzard when I was in college in NH. What startled me was the lightning that happened during the blizzard.. made the entire sky light up blue like it was the middle of the afternoon. I'd never experienced that before and I'll never forget it.
I absolutely love snow and am usually the only one who's excited about snow. It makes me so happy ❄😊❤❄

This is probably how plants took over the world.

I've seen thundersnow once. I was with a few other people when it happened and all of us were so surprised, it's all we talked about for about two weeks. It was just so strange, none of us had any idea it was possible. Very cool to see.

[MarieDomander]

Ones again, thanks for these videos. They are so good! And extremely interesting!

I remember the first time my family discovered there was such a thing as a thunder snow. It was after we moved from Texas to Virginia. We had been here for probably 10 years before we heard our first one. I think I have heard maybe 5 total in the 50+ years we have lived in this area.

Perfect! It's dumping snow outside my window rn! 24 hours ago it would have been a white Christmas, which is rare for us here in western Washington, but I'm still quite pleased with a day after white Christmas. No matter what age I am, I still get excited and happy when it snows. There's just something magical about it. Happy snow day! ❄️

I remember the thundersnow segment from the earlier video, and commented on how it happens where I live sometimes when the snow gets hefty, quite eerie cos it's somewhat muffled with the sound being insulated by the snowflakes...

Anyone who has served in any military can recognize the story you just told. Very few have enough strength to share with the world what you shared here. Thank you, Chris.

A perfect Christmas video!! Merry Christmas!!

I love snow. So long as I don't have to go to work.

As a person from Michigan, when I think of dunes, I think of the Lake Michigan shoreline. There are multiple areas where there are dunes along the lake. One city was even buried by sand dunes that formed because people cut too many trees near the shoreline, so the sand was free to flow with the wind.

This morning I vowed to never even mention snow again, after having to vacuum out a car full of it. I might've changed my mind after seeing this~

[emberandfriendsanimations]

I wish it would snow here in Texas, currently it is 79° outside and earlier it was 81°

[semaj_]

Ahh, snow. The thing we used to get on Christmas. Got up to 70F today, beating the record high for Christmas of 69F set in...2019. Dammit I miss the snow!

[azilbean]

Probably because I live in Georgia, and snow is very rare, I think snow is magical. I'm always the 1st one to see it, get everyone dressed and ready to play in it, and the last one to come inside.

Sci show is literally the best science show. The name is fitting

[kerinholmstrom]

I've seen the dunes, they are amazing! I'm from (northern) Saskatchewan! 😁🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦

[MaryAnnNytowl]

Ooohhh... you covered thundersnow, too? Oh, wow - being in one is one of the most amazing, cool feelings ever! It's about as amazing as being in a total solar eclipse, I think! 🤔 😎

Snowflakes are in hexagon shapes because hexagons are the bestagons.
