ICE & SNOW ~ HAVE THE SAME STRUCTURE AS DIAMOND ~ BEAUTIFUL !
STRUCTURE (MOLECULAR) OF ICE CRYSTALS is the same as DIAMOND
Three dimensional and perfect Hexagons ~ each SNOWFLAKE is a
Regular hexagon ~ each one is different ! SNOW reflects light ~ so
Usually ~ in Scandinavia ~ a snowfall transforms the whole landscape !
CARBON ATOM can combine with four other CARBON ATOMS .......
Thereby producing a DIAMOND ~ which is three dimensional & sparkles !
Unexpectedly in ICE ~ each water molecule (H-O-H) also combines .......
Regularly with four other water molecules in a DIAMOND STRUCTURE !
Explains why ICE is so hard ! Remember TITANIC ~ split by an ICEBERG !
ONE of the many beauties of ICE is it reflects LIGHT ~ and early morning
FROST on a SPIDER WEB is one of NATURES most dramatic sculptures !
ICE CUBES are precious in the current EUROPEAN WEATHER (40C = 100+ F) ~ each
CUBE requires Latent Heat of Fusion to melt it ~ this cools down your drink ~ simple !
Every property of ICE is amazing ! NEVER take ~ ICE - WATER - STEAM ~ for granted !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡

Thanks UNCLE STEVE ~ Brian here ~ My new Fridge / Freezer has a ICE MAKER ~ essential in this weather ! Also I get very hot under the collar when I think of BJ (B*o*d* Joke) as PM istead of Saint Theresa ! last nights DONNER und BLITZEN was heaven\'s reply to his selection ! We can no longer laff at the USA ~ WE have (very unwitingly) selected (He wasnt elected) our very own TRUMP ~ GOD help us PLEASE !
Blessings & Joy to YOU & DOGGY WOGGY
Your Angela & Brian 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
As I've said in a couple of other comments on other poems - what storms?! We must have missed them in our area.
This informative tribute to ice and its connection to diamond shape takes the mind to its Creator - a marvel of nature we forget at our peril....... thank you so much for your poetic picture of beautiful sculptures we see in winter.
Thanks FAY: ANGEL here : Its 7:30am Thursday in NZ. Middle of Winter but being sub-tropical it does not drop below 5C = 40F during the night or 10C = 50F in the day ! Brian tells me it has been 35C = 95F in Essex today & hotter tomorrow ! You will need your ICE CUBES ! One drawback of Auckland in Winter is there is NO snow or frost and I love Scotland in Winter ! Still I have been to South Island for skiing and sledging : al fresco : which I love ! Pleased you enjoyed our Presentation !
Blessings & Peace & Love
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙
I'm still trying to forget that awful winter we had this year, but nice write! I didn't know the relation between diamonds and ice crystals....C
HOLA CHRIS : Angela here : Ive sent a comment instead of a reply : please check ! A XOX
HOLA CHRIS : ANGELA HERE ~ thanks for your comment - pleased you enjoyed it ! Its 8pm here so just relaxing ! Winters here are never severe 45F @ night and 55+F in the day ! I have to go to S Island for Snow ! Ive read about the Winters in the Lake States ~ real cold down past 0F Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Ice is a hard SOLID because all the water molecules joing together in a 3D diamond structure which is why it is so hard and difficult to melt. BRIAN is in the middle of a HEAT WAVE 100+F today (Death Valley ?) Brian & I are both very busy over the weekend so may not post till TUESDAY !
Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Abrazos y Besos ANGELA y BRIAN
XOXOXOX
