My girlfriend sent me this Gchat message today : “ So , multitude Facebook are talking about how the government put phony C. P. Snow in Atlanta because it wo n’t unthaw . What is go on ? ”

Wait . What ? This sound unbalanced . So I looked around a little spot and , sure enough , lots of multitude with cyberspace handles like “ WakeUpAmerica ” are posting stories and photos and videos of snow that wo n’t melt , or turn black when held to a fire . Some are saying the government activity and/or terrorists must have dumped faux snow on the South as a chemical attack .

This is n’t a cabal — just nose candy behaving in a path that ’s completely normal , but out of demarcation with people ’s assumptions . The folks who are freak out out here seem to expect a Abronia elliptica to start dripping when a lighter is hold up to it , the way an meth cube does . C. P. Snow does n’t melt like that , though , because of the way of life it ’s structured . Since snow is made up of pot of bantam snowflakes ,   it ’s pretty loose and fluffy , and when you hold up a lighter to a handful of snow and start melting it , the remain snow is expire to draw the body of water that ’s make as some oddball melt . It goes from dry Charles Percy Snow , to pissed snowfall , to slush . It ’s melting , but just not the fashion we think melting should bet . Eventually , the urine will run out of places to go , and your snowball will drip and turn into a pool of water .

As for the black colouring material , that ’s just soot , which results from incomplete combustion . It happens on existent snow , and it materialize on ice cubes , too . Go snaffle one from the freezer and try it yourself .

you’re able to also do what these two Georgia male child did , and try on putting the “ snow that wo n’t fade ” into the microwave , where it goes through the melting mental process pretty quickly .
