They are saying in this article that microbes are the cause of snow. In fact, they are a key part to the man-made snow found at many ski resorts, helping snow form at lower temperatures. They have done research throughout different parts of the world and they found many different types of microes such as; Pseudomonas syringae which infects crops such as wheat and corn. They have found more than 2,00o different microbes in the air above Texas alone. It is clear that there are definitely microbes in the sir but where they are coming from they aren't.
I think this is a good thing because if they could be used to make snow, possibly in the future they could make fake rain to help grow crops for many places that need it if they are in a drought situation. Perhaps if they can make snow, they could make snow back in the arctic and help the wildlife that is dying because of the melting polar ice caps such as the polar bear.
