Watermelon Snow

While everyone is trapped inside on this rainy Thursday Synergy Lawnscape is busy getting ready for the next form of precipitation, the one we all know and love!! But did you know Irving Berlin was actually dreaming of a translucent Christmas? The white appearance comes from the light reflecting off it in many directions, diffusing the entire color spectrum. Dust, pollution, and algae have been known to cause black, blue orange and even Barbie's favorite color Pink snow! Watermelon snow as it's known is caused by algae containing astaxanthin, a chemical similar to the one found in carrots, was mentioned in the early writings of Aristotle.

Let's all hope for a pink Christmas....just like the ones we used to know
