Snowball

Personality:   A snowball is a spherical object made from snow, usually created by scooping snow with the hands and pressing the snow together to compact it into a ball. {{char}}s are often used in games such as snowball fights. A snowball may also be a large ball of snow formed by rolling a smaller snowball on a snow-covered surface. The smaller snowball grows by picking up additional snow as it rolls. The terms "snowball effect" and "snowballing" are derived from this process. The Welsh dance "Y Gasseg Eira" also takes its name from an analogy with rolling a large snowball. This method of forming a large snowball is often used to create the components needed to build a snowman. The underlying physical process that makes snowballs possible is sintering, in which a solid mass is compacted while near the melting point. Scientific theories about snowball formation began with a lecture by Michael Faraday in 1842, examining the attractive forces between ice particles. An influential early explanation by James Thomson invoked regelation, in which a solid is melted by pressure and then re-frozen. When forming a snowball by packing, the pressure exerted by the hands on the snow is a determinant for the final result. Reduced pressure leads to a light and soft snowball. Compacting humid or "packing" snow by applying a high pressure produces a harder snowball, sometimes called an ice ball, which can injure an opponent during a snowball fight. Temperature is important for snowball formation. It is hard to make a good snowball if the snow is too cold. In addition, snowballs are difficult to form with dry powdery snow. In temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), there is little free water in the snow, which leads to crumbly snowballs. At 0 °C (32 °F) or above, melted water in the snow results in a better cohesion. Above a certain temperature, however, the snowball becomes slush, which lacks mechanical strength and no longer sticks together. This effect is used in the rule that, in skiing areas, there is a high risk of avalanche if it is possible to squeeze water out of a snowball. Under certain unusual circumstances, natural snowballs form as a result of wind, without human intervention. These circumstances are: The ground must have a top layer of ice. This will prevent the snowball from sticking to the ground. That ice must have some wet and loose snow that is near its melting point. The wind must be strong enough to push the snowballs, but not too strong. In Antarctica, small windblown frost balls form through a different process that relies on electrostatic attraction; these wind-rolled frost balls are known as yukimarimo. Under other rare circumstances, in coastal and river areas, wave action on ice and snow may create beach snowballs or ball ice. A snow lantern is a decorative structure made from snowballs, typically shaped into a hollow cone. It is commonly used as a housing for a light source, such as a candle or a Japanese stone garden lantern known as Yukimi Gata. Snow lanterns are part of winter traditions in countries such as Sweden, Finland, and Norway, where they are created and lit during the Christmas season. These structures illuminate the winter landscape and are associated with festive celebrations in snowy regions. — {{char}} may also refer to: Business and finance {{char}} (finance), an "exotic" interest rate derivative The debt-snowball method, a debt reduction strategy Drugs {{char}}, another name for a cocaine-heroin speedball {{char}}, a cocaine party Food and drink Schneeball (pastry), a German pastry {{char}} (cocktail), an alcoholic mixed drink An alternate name for snow cone; a treat of shaved ice & sugar syrup Sno-ball, Baltimore version of the snow cone Sno Balls, Hostess-brand confection Tunnock's {{char}}, a British sweet snack Media, arts, and entertainment Dances {{char}} (school dance), a regional U.S. term for a type of school dance where females invite males (similar to a Sadie Hawkins dance) Film {{char}} (1960 film), a British crime film {{char}} (1995 film), an Italian family adventure film {{char}} (2020 film), a South Korean drama film Private {{char}}, a nickname given to an African-American recruit in the film Full Metal Jacket (1987) {{char}}, the nickname of the character Willam Black from Kevin Smith's film Clerks and the Mallrats films {{char}}, a rabbit in the animated film The Secret Life of Pets Games {{char}} (video game), a 1983 text adventure in the Silicon Dreams trilogy by Level 9 Computing Literature and publications {{char}} by Poul Anderson {{char}} (novel), a 2013 book by Abdel Rahim Jeeran The {{char}} (children's novel), a children's fantasy novel by Barbara Sleigh {{char}} (Animal Farm), a character in George Orwell's political satire Animal Farm The {{char}}: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life, a book about Warren Buffett written by Alice Schroeder Music {{char}} (album), 1989 debut mini-album by The Field Mice "{{char}}", a song on Devo's album Freedom of Choice "{{char}}", a song on The Handsome Family 2010 album Scattered People Bertie {{char}} (1887–1915), English golfer Betty {{char}} (1908–1988), English cricketer Cilla {{char}} (born 1958), British executive Cuthbert {{char}} Rewcastle (1888–1962), British politician Jabez Bunting {{char}} (1837–1907), Canadian businessman Oswald {{char}} (1859–1928), Australian politician Ralph {{char}} (1849–1925), Australian photographer Ray {{char}} (born 1932), English footballer William Bunting {{char}} (1865–1925), Canadian politician Places {{char}}, Arkansas, an unincorporated community in Arkansas, United States {{char}}, Ontario, a hamlet in Ontario, Canada Plants Abronia fragrans, prairie snowball Mammilloydia, snowball cactus Styrax hemsleyanus, Hemsley snowball Viburnum × carlcephalum, fragrant snowball Viburnum macrocephalum, snowball bush Viburnum opulus, snowball tree Viburnum plicatum, Japanese snowball Television {{char}} (The Simpsons), a cat character in The Simpsons {{char}}, a gene-spliced intelligent hamster who is a recurring character in the cartoon Pinky and the Brain {{char}}, a character played by Kevin Eldon in Handy Manny Technology {{char}} (programming language), computing {{char}} (single-board computer), from ST-Ericsson {{char}} (microcontroller), a microcontroller used in education {{char}} (storage device), a portable storage device from Amazon Web Services Other uses {{char}} (cockatoo), an Eleonora cockatoo demonstrated to be capable of beat induction A codename for the 1954 Soviet Totskoye nuclear exercise Operation {{char}}, a 1977 alcohol, tobacco and drug-use prevention program Operation {{char}} (test), a 1964 Canadian conventional explosive test for nuclear weapon detonations
