Winter - a time of evil, especially in the north of the planet.Sometimes, her appearance does not coincide with the calendar time.Signs of winter can occur earlier.Slushy weather changes to cold, water freezes, and the earth is covered with a white blanket of snow.A day in this period is short and the nights are cold.
first signs of winter.Snow
December 21 is the longest night.It is the winter solstice.After that day, the count goes in the opposite direction, the day begins to increase, and the night is rapidly declining.
first signs of winter in inanimate nature may occur in November and December.Clouds hovering over the ground, they become gray and heavy as the air is full of moisture.In summer, they are light and heap, but with the advent of cold weather filled the sky, making the street there is moisture and freshness.Such clouds sprinkle the ground with snow, then may appear meter snowdrifts.
only in winter snow falls, covering veil all around.It allows small animals and plants to hide.From low temperature snow becomes loose, it is not as crunches, hard to the touch.
If it's no wind, the snow spilling large snowflakes.If the wind gets stronger, there is a snowstorm.This is a severe natural phenomenon at this time of the year.From the gust of wind lifted the snow, rushing in different directions.Blizzard is 2 types:
- blowing;
- horse.
It depends on the redistribution of air.Severe snowstorms often can be seen in the middle of winter.By the way, this is creating a snowy landscape, it gives the snowdrifts interesting shapes.
Black ice
There are other signs of winter in inanimate nature.For example, black ice.After the temperature has changed dramatically, it was frosty, the ground is covered with ice.Provoke this phenomenon wet snow or rain before changing the temperature below zero.Black ice can turn into ice small streams, it does not necessarily precipitation.
When severe winter frosts, which continue a long period, constrained by different bodies of water, even the deepest.Low temperatures provoke freezing to great depths.From this shipping could stop their activities for a while, as the ice does not allow to move through the water.To this black ice on ponds lost, it takes a long warming up in the sun.
Frost
The signs include winter and frosty temperatures.This is a dangerous phenomenon that can last a long time, passing in an anticyclone.Low temperature is able to harm agriculture to develop into an emergency situation, to which utilities are always ready.
Icicles
Signs of the onset of winter icicles supplement.This piece of ice hanging from the houses, buildings and other planes.It has the shape of a cone.Due to the fact that the sun warms the snow, it melts, and at night the cold causes it to freeze, forming icicles.Their appearance is connected with the amount of melted snow.Ice cone collapses when it becomes too heavy and fall to the ground crumbles.
Gradually, after winter comes spring.Icicles start melting, the temperature rises, lost frost.
Calendar nature
frost and snow appear differently.Nature has its own calendar, so noticeable signs of winter at different times of the year.
Every year terms of annual change of seasons.Therefore, the spring can come early or, conversely, too late.This happens in the winter.Every year can be a different number of precipitation days can be more than clear or cloudy, the temperature can also present its own surprises.
many people, it is important to monitor the vibrations in nature.Pay attention to them growers, landowners, fishermen, hunters.Depends on weather conditions such industries:
- poultry;
- agriculture;
- fishing;
- livestock;
- silk;
- beekeeping.
end of winter
Winter does not last forever, eventually there comes its completion.There are first thawed, you can see the earth.Before they can be seen on the hillsides, and then - in the fields.But in the north woods of snow can stay long.
Migratory birds are starting to return home.The first can be seen rooks.But there are also places of residence from which they do not fly away, because there is no harsh winters.
beginning of winter in the wild
There are signs of winter in nature.You can observe these changes:
- Trees, shrubs shed their leaves.This happens due to the fact that in winter, a little light, so this part is they do not need.Only pine trees do not lose their leaves, they fall gradually to grow new ones.These needles trees, pine trees covered with patina, which protects them from severe frosts.
- In winter, a little food.For this reason, animals, such as bears, hibernate.Those who continue to lead an active life, grows warm fur.Such changes do not allow them to freeze.By the way, the hare turns white in the winter, but the hedgehog is a cozy place and sleep there, curled up in Kalachik until spring.
- number of birds in winter is reduced, as migratory birds fly to the edge where warmer.There are only those who have adapted to eat different kinds of food.Yes, and lost a lot of insects in the winter, so the birds find food becomes difficult.
Such signs of winter in nature.
What is snow?
Snowflakes come in different sizes, but not more than 5 mm.A delicate networks differ from each other, surprising its uniqueness.Different there are signs of winter, but the snow is considered the most basic.Snowflakes balanced, have clear geometric facets, united in a hexagon.A water molecule has a hexagonal shape.Because of this, it freezing in clouds, transforms into small crystals.Forming takes place with the capture of the neighboring molecules.Thus, a chain of frozen molecules.
On the resulting shape affects the air temperature and humidity.Snow in the winter is important, as it ensures the protection of the ground in the cold, snowy veil hiding her.It allows you to keep warm, plants and small animals do not die in such conditions.If there is no snow, the winter will not yield.Also, the snow keeps moisture, which is necessary in the spring.
Games for children, which will help to identify the beginning of winter
Many parents want their child is able to quickly tell what signs there are of winter.You can teach him this playing.However, his mental faculties will develop, improve.
The first game is called "Improvised lotto."It can be used for 3-year-old kids.Signs of winter for children will become apparent, they will be able to tell about it.To do this you need to do bingo on every season.Collect pictures, which are painted signs of winter and other times of the year.Then you have to offer your child to choose from the drawings those associated with the winter period.A parent can be removed one by one picture, and the kid has to identify the signs of a cold time of year.To a child it was interesting, you can change it later with the roles.It will consolidate its knowledge.Permission is granted to make mistakes, to toddler corrected its parent.
Like the previous game, you can write words on cardboard: signs of the word "winter" and other pores year.Occupation is happening is similar to the previous one, the child has to collect words associated with winter.
develop well thought toddler game "What to wear."This will require the clothes should be worn in different seasons.The child must choose from the pile only those things which are suitable for winter.A parent may also display one attribute of clothes, and the children to draw conclusions about it.The same game can take place with shoes.If there is a concern that things get dirty, you can use pictures.They should depict different clothes.To your child develops logical thinking, one might ask why he chose a particular thing.
