Title: dirty glass and frames
Post by: hilland on April 05, 2013, 09:54:29 pm: any one in the durham area noticed that the last snow fall had made windows and frames filthy, was it snow or wind and what ever was blown in the wind . I remember seeing fresh snow the other day on the ground looking filthy , which I aint noticed on the snow during the last 6 months, any comments ?

As for the reasons why, I'm not too sure, maybe the flakes hold onto dirt better, or because the snow has lasted over a week it accumulates more dirt particles and so when it melts leaves more streaks & dirt behind??
