To quote Lucy:

"The snow goes up, just like the grass grows. Then the wind swirls it all around, so it *looks* like it's coming down, but it actually comes up from the ground."

I like that, on multiple levels, but now my brain is stuck trying to design a planet with the right conditions for hoarfrost to form in huge quantities and get blown about without snow falling from the sky.

For the rest of the day, I'm going to be thinking, "snow grows ... hmm."

I just started reading Larry Niven's The Integral Trees, where people live in a gravity-free zone around a gas planet, or something like that. Haven't gotten far enough to read about any weather other than wind.

That happens outside my office, too. More often it goes sideways up G street.

Oh, dear... and all because I quoted from the musical "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"...
