The cacophony of a snowflake * *
hitting

sssssssnowflake's sonic signature:
it's not unlike that of the wail of an approaching fire engine; it increases and then
fades away after it's passed you
mind
you
the snowflake only lasts about one-ten-thousandth of a second
*
hanging on the surface then
falling beneath the surface of water
snowflake sucks water upwards * *
* * * * *
* * * *
engulfed
the snowflake melts
* freeing air bubbles trapped within ice crystals
bubbles vibrate in * *
and o u t *
of position sending sound waves, much like a ringing bell � at a
super high pitcheeeeeeeeeecch
* *
*
* *
the plunks turn to the quiet plinks of snowflakes, but those plinks are followed by a
scream
*
"if it starts snowing a lot of big flakes, we just have to shut everything off" -
that's what the man said.
