Is there an optimum temperature for snow fall in the UK?
i remember hearing that it had to be a minimum of 4 degrees C for UK snowfall...any opinions?
Well its -2oC at the time of writing and it is almost a complete whiteout (08 January 2010 15:35pm Great Bentley, Essex, UK just so you know). So i would say that is quite an optimum temperature, but the range is anything from -273oC to 4oC but the colder it is, the drier the air usually is. so snow is at its best around 0oC.
What is a near fall in wrestling?
A near fall in wrestling occurs when one wrestler almost pins their opponent but the opponent manages to kick out just before the referee counts to three. It is a dramatic moment in a match where victory is almost secured by one wrestler.
This happens because Toronto is situated on a lake (Lake Ontario), where Ottawa is not. So in the summer time, the warm weather and hot temperature heats up the lake. It takes an awful long time for a massive body of water to completely change temperatures so Once winter hits, the temperature outsdie drops but the water is still warm from the summer, and therefore heat will rise out of the water and be blown around the surrounding area, like Toronto. But since Ottawa isn't near any massive bodies of water, just a tiny river, the temperature of Ottawa will iether be extremely cold, or extremely hot, depending on the temperature. And believe me when i say it gets cold! I live here :P

What are facts about NIagra Falls?
1. Originally, (over 5,000,000,000 gallons) about 2 trillion liters of water per hour flowed over the edge of Niagara Falls. Put another way, 35,000,000 gallons of fresh water per minute roared over the edge of this natural wonder of the world. Half of this great water volume is diverted (at night and during the off season) for hydro-electric power generation by the governments of Canada and the United States. Niagara Falls is the largest producer of hydro-electric power in the world at this time. Currently, the twinning of hydro tunnels beneath Niagara Falls Ontario will allow for the diversion of more than 3/4 of the water flow when construction is complete. That means, at night (and during the off-season) a person could very well WALK across the river.
2. Niagara Falls is NOT one of the Seven Wonders of the World as many believe it to be. However, it IS the Honeymoon Capital of the World.
