When a fresh batch of snow falls to the ground, the world tends to quiet down. That could partially be attributed to human factors: it's likely winter, people aren't out as much and traffic comes to a halt. However, there are more scientific reasons for the quietude. When a fresh blanket of snow settles down, it's doing a lot more than turning the world into a winter wonderland. Bernadette Woods Placky, meteorologist and director of Climate Central's Climate Matters program said, "When snow falls, it does absorb some of the soundwaves." http://on.mash.to/1BoYFF9 http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
