Why Do Snowy Mountains Have This Line?

232 sats \ 10 comments \ @denlillaapan 23 Feb AskSN

Here's a striking feature:

The hand of god, wrapping mountains in a snowy blanket to create this nice, visual impressions of a straight line.

I'm sure the answer is some boring "this is where ground temperature is below/above freezing."

But still: Stackers, whyyy hand of god?

Snow isn’t real anyways

It’s Bob Ross and his paint brush

it's most likely due to a problem with the color purity of the electron gun. Smack the side of it and see if that helps.

Fucking CRT monitors.... you probably got a magnet too close to it.

IDK man, I bet it has to do with wind, and how those pockets of snow are most likely tucked away in ridges.

That said, I hope this isn't your picture, cuz otherwise one of those geoguesser guys can find you and dox your location 😂

already done for... haha. I've posted too many revealing pics, here and on Nostr. (Plus, it's not like my government overlords are stacked with data on my exact location anyway)

You have to look into whole area particular meteorological features: wind direction, soil type, vegetation type, terrain formation, sun direction (when is having the most impact on snow).

An aerial view from a plane will give you more clues why that area is always snowy. I have a small valley near me, between 2 high mountains, that in contrast is never snowing there. Even if some snowflakes arrive on the bottom of the valley, they melt instantly.

I do not consider it a "hand of god" but a curiosity of the planet.

I do not consider it a "hand of god" but a curiosity of the planet. Yeah, same thing
