下午宿舍有請人來清一下這些不知道是什麼的混合體,把我宿舍門前的道路清得很乾淨,不過還是可以看見一些雪跟冰的混合體殘留在黑色的柏油路上。氣象預報說今天的天氣是wintry mix,Wikipedia上解釋wintry mix是:
「...In the United States, wintry mix generally refers to a mixture of freezing rain, ice pellets, and snow. ... 」其實這些黑色的柏油路上,宿舍都有派人來灑鹽,一方面雪碰到鹽會融化,另一方面也有防止我們不小心滑倒的作用。這些鹽不是像我們煮飯用的鹽是白色的,而且是很大顆粒棕色的粗鹽,下午來宿舍清雪的人,把雪剷到旁邊的雪堆中,雪因為這些粗鹽的關係,顏色就變了。其實也有混一點流在地上的髒雨水,這種雪看起來很不美觀,我個人稱呼這種雪叫做「垃圾雪」,堆在旁邊非常像一堆無法丟掉的垃圾。
同場加映:上次我在本部落格的文章「Dangerous Ice」中有提到的ice stalactite,我後來覺得很危險,所以就拿著
