Weather

Weather is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy. Most weather phenomena occur in the troposphere, just below the stratosphere. Weather generally refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the average atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time.When used without qualification, "weather" is understood to be the weather of Earth.
Weather is driven by air pressure (temperature and moisture) differences between one place and another. These pressure and temperature differences can occur due to the sun angle at any particular

Wallpaper Description:

On March 1st, my area of Michigan got walloped with 7 inches of unusually heavy wet snow. Snowflakes averaged 1/2 inch in diameter. (1.27 centimeters.) People struggled to get their cars through thick mucky slush. Large tree limbs were weighed down low to the ground; many eventually snapped and broke. I was overjoyed to get home safely from work!

That night, a lot of the snow froze in the tree tops froze solid. The next day the ice started melting and crashing to the ground. It made quite a racket, especially when I had to go somewhere in my car and lots of ice fell on it!

The trees were beautiful! I took many photos of them. The 3 I'm uploading today were hard to choose. Too many pretty ones! :D

PS. I guess I'd better explain why I find this tree confusing. Although it's a silver maple tree, at first glance, I thought it was a birch tree-- especially before some of the snow started to melt off of it. By the time I got to take this photo, much of the snow and ice had either melted off or fallen off, but I think you can still see why it made me think of a white barked birch tree. :) One more thing also... if you enlarge the wallpaper, you can see buds on it, that made me think of Spring, not Winter! :D
