A weightlifting hero, Kung Fu nuns and an adorable Christmas thief
Have you ever wondered why snow makes everything so peaceful and quiet? It seems like a silly thing to think about, but I looked it up and there's actually a reason! A fluffy, porous coating of snow acts as a dampener, absorbing sound. I like to imagine the wonder of a fresh snowfall inspires people to quiet introspection, but yeah, it's probably just the acoustics part. Ironically, as it melts and re-freezes, the hard surface of ice amplifies sound. Perfect for hearing your neighbor cursing as they scrape off their car windshield. (Southerners, I know you can't relate, but Northerners will assure you the struggle is real.)
