Snow is precipitation in the form of crystalline water ice, consisting of a multitude of snowflakes. Since it is composed of small rough particles it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless packed by external pressure. Snow is commonly formed when water vapor undergoes deposition high in the atmosphere at a temperature of less than 0°C (32°F), and then falls to the ground.

Here's some photos of Uncle Maurice's Loggin' truck. It was empty - going up Whipsaw Road. (Near Princeton BC). I haven't heard anything more. Pretty hard to imagine what it once was. Gavon (the driver) was very lucky to have survived. He was in hospital with a puncture wound in his leg from a lever that is under the seat. His leg was very swollen, he has other bruises and no doubt pulled muscles, etc.
