Snow<\/p>

It\u2019s white, it\u2019s cold, it\u2019s wintry. It\u2019s often associated with a lot of fun:
winter sports (also linked to a big economic factor), snowman\/woman making, making snow angels, snowball fights and general cosiness!<\/p>

I am actually in the snow for a few days (after a horrendous week of parent\/kid flu), and the snow here got me thinking. Why snow matters, and how is important to our planet?<\/p>

Why snow matters<\/h3>

\ud83d\udc49Snow is highly reflective, so when sun rays hit a snowy area, they are reflected back into space. This helps cool our planet \ud83d\udca6<\/p>

\ud83d\udc49A huge 80-90% of sunlight is reflected back out via snow<\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 Snow controls heating and cooling on our planet more than anything else on land does<\/p>

\ud83d\udc49 But reflective snow needs to be white. Dirty snow can be created through wind dust, as a result of farming, construction and forest fires. It reflects much less and melts the snow quicker in spring.<\/p>

\ud83d\udc49Snow can even become a source of electricity\u26a1. It can potentially be harnessed in two ways: cold\/hot convection or catching snow directly as it falls<\/p>
