Clouds, composed of tiny water droplets or ice crystals, play a vital role in regulating Earth's climate by influencing the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface. The cloud phase significantly impacts the surface energy balance as liquid water clouds reflect more radiation than ice clouds.
The UK is set for more wintry conditions in February and maps indicate that the mercury could drop as low as -12C and large areas of the country will see snow flurries
Good news, folks: the off-road-minded customizers at Arctic Trucks have just dropped an extra-badass version of the latest Toyota Land Cruiser the company calls the “AT37.” Even better news: it’s going to be available for purchase here in the U.S.
Polar bears have a built-in defense against ice — greasy fur. A team of scientists has discovered that their fur is coated in a unique sebum blend that prevents ice from sticking, helping them survive extreme cold.
There will be light snow in both your Tuesday and Wednesday morning commutes. An arctic blast will follow Thursday, but a quick warmup is due to close out the work week on Friday.
