While waiting for her food to heat up Kimmy goes on to Google to read up about snow.

• The earliest known snow shovel is estimated to be approximately 6,000 years old. It was found in a bog in Russia. According to archaeologists, its blade was made from a carved elk antler. The antler piece was tied to a wood or bone handle.

• The highest snowfall ever recorded in a one year period was 31.1 meters (1224 inches) in Mount Rainier, Washington State, United States, between February 19, 1971 and February 18, 1972. That’s Terrifying!

• The most snow ever recorded in a 24 hour period in the USA was 76 inches in Silver Lake, CO in 1921.

• That’s equivalent to the average height of a basketball player.

• The coldest temperature ever recorded was on July 21, 1983, when the temperature dropped to -128.6 degrees Fahrenheit at the Vostok research station in Antarctica. One of the researchers still wanted to try to make it through the snow maze.

• Ten inches of snow melts down to only 1 inch of water. This doesn’t explain why 1 inch of snow on your clothes leaves puddles all over the house.

• A single snowstorm can drop 39 million tons of snow. That’s the energy equivalent to 120 atom bombs!’ (Source)
