The white evaporates at the temperature ice melts to water, so it just goes back up to the ozone layer.

It go`s into ghost`s sheets and all of those sheets go to the sheet house.
I gotta ask that one of my grand sons 8 & 7, should be interesting since they live in Baton Rouge and probably haven't seen snow "in person" yet.

My late wife came from Buffalo, NY. She described it as the home of the year-round black snowdrift. Would that qualify as black magic?

I'm not a snow physicist, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. However, I saw part of a program on snow today, on the Science Channel.
Snow flakes are actually clear, since they're composed of ice. As the snow falls to the ground and piles up, light is refracted from the snow flake edges in many different directions at once. That refracted light merges, and appears white to your eyes.
And the axiom that no two snowflakes are alike, is true. The number of combinations exceeds the amount of matter in the universe (according to one of the commentators).

My mother uster tell me no two snowflakes are the same. Now that takes a lot of looking and comparing I would say.

Uster; contraction of use and to. It is perfectly acceptable to drop the hyphen(') as in us'ter. It is from the Bible, The other Old testament.
Example.. Like my Uncle Bob uster go to church until he gots a good Bird Dog.

None of the above. Vlad Putin sent his boys over here, to pack as much back for there-in case it doesnt snow, or snow much-for the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
