Over time, these processes release much of the air that was originally trapped by the falling snow. As this happens, the reflective surfaces of our &#34;snowflakes&#34; disappear. The ability to reflect light exists only when there is air between the surfaces of  the ice crystals. This very, very old, and very, very dense ice is no longer capable of reflecting light. So it no longer appears white.<br/> <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HIGMtDQaYAABEos.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HIGMtDIakAAdSXb.jpg"> <br/> 2026-05-12T05:55:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswvsx4lcx287ntw7g3yh4l7pgetakwf99majnyjkdmwkc20yej9fqzypayhrly685z5mhdpzuvkup0hd3qfeq3j22az2sm927xyrrd4vls2etn7qq The Japanese Spider Crab<br/><br/>The world’s largest species of crab, known for its enormous leg span that can reach up to 12 feet (3.7 meters).
