Lenticular clouds over Mount Rainier, Washington A peak in the clouds World Meteorological Day brings us to Washington’s Mount Rainier, a huge stratovolcano with a habit of creating its own weather systems. Jutting out about three kilometres above the surrounding landscape, its high altitude interrupts the flow of air that comes in off the Pacific Ocean, creating unusual weather such as the saucer-shaped clouds on our homepage. They’re called lenticular clouds, and because of their distinctive appearance, they've been suggested as an explanation for some UFO sightings. Thanks to the science of meteorology, we know they’re a normal weather phenomenon, commonly occurring on the downwind side of obstructions such as mountains, buildings, or other tall structures.

A crystal of real signal snowflake This is the real image of nature, not the figment of our imagination. Today is the world's first artificial snowflake day. It  was Dr. Ukichiro Nakatani, a Japanese scientist who became successful in forming first artificial snowflake. He  not only made artificial snow, but also noted the famous saying "Snow is a letter sent from heaven".  Dr. Nakatani  is also known as the pioneer of snow crystals and the author of scientific essays.

Sap buckets hanging on maple trees in a forest, Quebec Tapping for sap When springtime is around the corner, it’s time to go tapping for sap. Maple trees convert stored starch into sugars which when tapped, causes sap to flow. In this picture today, sap is likely dripping from the spout into the buckets attached to the trees. The amount of sap required to produce maple syrup is dependent on the sugar content of the sap. With a high sugar content, less sap is needed for syrup and vice versa. Once the sap is collected, it is kept cool and processed immediately to produce the highest quality of sweet maple syrup. (© Benoit Daoust/Shutterstoc)

Panorama of the Alps under the snow, France Still a little winter! Winter has been very mild this year.  Maybe a little too much.  Snowball battles have become rare and hot chocolates were not as necessary as usual.  Strangely, we are a little disappointed not to have been able to take advantage of this atmosphere so mild in winter, as paradoxical as it is.  Little cocooning warm on Sunday morning when the flakes fall deafly on the ground.  No fogging while exhaling icy winter air. Winter warm  dishes rich in fat and comfort did not really taste the same either this winter.  A bit like drinking a Spritz while it is raining;  it's just not the same. So to compensate, we offer you this splendid view of the Alps under the snow which, we hope will make you feel this winter heat, as there is no  other.  And if you suddenly have a desire for melted Savoyard cheese, you have all our blessing!

Walk through a mountain top in Chamonix, France Where is this magical place?  Walk through a mountain top in Chamonix, France Aiguille du Midi in eastern France is one of many peaks in the Mont Blanc massif, an Alpine range that stretches across the border into Italy and Switzerland. In 1909, an aerial tramway was proposed to take tourists from Chamonix, the valley town below, to the top of Aiguille du Midi – a plan finally realised in 1955. The cable cars and viewing platform were upgraded most recently in 2012, and a new feature called ‘Step into the Void’ was added. It allows tourists to stand in a glass room jutting out from the mountain. ( © Jakub Połomski / Offse )
