This morning, Wuhan ushered in a real heavy snow. The snow falls to the ground, glittering under the illumination of the street lamp. The snow falls not silently but rustly. The snow immediately falls on the ground. This kind of snow is called dry snow, pink snow or diamond snow, which is rare in the south.
Also known as diamond dust, or ice fog phenomenon: refers to the water vapor in the low-altitude atmosphere directly condenses into tiny ice crystals at low temperature and floats in the air, which is difficult to see by the naked eye. It is due to the reflection of sunlight that can form diamond like dazzling. The necessary conditions for the natural formation of this phenomenon are: 1. High air humidity; 2. Low air temperature; 3. Obvious temperature difference between morning and evening. The lowest temperature in the whole day before dawn is when diamond dust ice particles are relatively large and appear most. However, as the sun rises, the ice particles will soon be vaporized after a gorgeous pass.
