Snow

At a temperature close to zero in calm weather you can see beautiful snowflakes, and even some entire snowflakes stuck together. Such formations are called snowflakes. If the temperature is not rising above 0 degrees Celsius, the snowflakes do not melt and form a blanket of snow. But this beauty can deliver and trouble. If a strong wind, snow, rising into the air and begins a blizzard. In the mountains, large accumulations of snow can break down a snow avalanche. Passing with great speed on the slope of the mountain, the avalanche break centuries-old trees, tear down large stones, destroying homes and roads. Especially dangerous are "bouncing" of the avalanche. This is such an avalanche, who meet on their way to the hill as a springboard. With this "springboard" avalanche leaps into the valley, getting a very high speed. And when you consider that the mass of the "monsters jumping" up to 200 ... 300 thousand tons, and sometimes the 500, it is not difficult to guess how much his power is destructive.
